Hello,
there's probably a million threads like this but, well, this is mine :). I'm currently on the ginger6 website £1200, although around the £1000 mark would be ideal. This will be mostly for gaming and general long use/reliability (I have my pc on every day for long periods).

So these are the 2 set-ups i'm looking at, any help deciding between them would be appreciated:

System 1:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 2500K
Overclocked to 4.60GHz
Corsair Hydro H60 Liquid Cooling
Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V LX
Case Antec One Hundred Gaming Case
Power Supply 750w XFX PSU
Memory 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz memory
Audio Asus Xonar DG 5.1 Channel Soundcard
LAN 1 x Realtek RTL8111E chips (10/100/1000 Mbit)
GPU 1.28Gb Nvidia GeForce GTX 570
Hard Drive 1TB SATA 6Gb/s Drive
Optical Drive 22x DVDRW Drive
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

System 2:

Case: Antec One Hundred Gaming Case
- 750W XFX Power Supply
Processor: AMD FX 6100 Six Core Processor (Skt AM3 )
- 6 cores @ 3.30GHz
- Corsair Hydro H60 Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus M5A87 Skt AM3
- AMD 870 SB850 Chipset
Memory: 8gb Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600
Hard Drive: 500gb 7200rpm SATA3 Hard Drive
