That would be your choice overall. What will you be using the computer for? Casual surfing..video editing? Have you considered building your own system?

I was going to use it for assignments mostly ( photo editing movie editing, Word office essays, bit of gaming like World of warcraft ect ) and the reason i went for this is that i can pay it monthly directly from the store (Easy payment).
