I'm looking for a budget gaming PC as my old one is on its last legs and seriously needs to be put out to pasture.
I'm working with a tight budget due to having to sort out a deposit for buying a house.
I've been looking at both these setups and I have no idea which to choose. Being next to clueless on all things PC.
Specifications of option 1:
Specifications of option 2:• 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ (Ivy Bridge) i5-3470 3.20GHz Quad-Core Processor
