    Hi all,

    looking to buy a new PC mainly for gaming (minecraft, FM, DayZ, WoW etc.)

    Want to buy a pre built machine and not build one myself so that isn't an option.

    Looking around the 500e-600e mark.

    Currently I've found these two but not sure which would be better.

    Any other suggestions for a pre built one please comment :) ( preferably towards 500e )

    Why not just post the proper links instead of putting in the '(DOT)'

    Oh didnt know that.

    Anyways as for the computers,
    The processor is far superior in the Acer, the i5 4400.

    No real differences between the graphics, both quite poor.

    Asus has twice as much ram, 8GB vs 4GB.
    Wouldn't make a huge difference depending on what you are doing.

    Ive seen you asked in the PC Building & Upgrading forum, so I think they will provide you with a much better build for the price.
