Hey everyone, joined this forum after I saw it mentioned in a YouTube video by TimeToLiveCustoms.

Mainly joined this forum for some help and guidance.

My current PC is around 4 years old, and does sound like it's overheating on some games, so I have decided it's best to get a new pc.

I will be buying on finance so I can't buy the components separate and then build the PC from scratch, so I've had a good look around for websites that have PC configuration and well I've found one, now I just need to decide which system to buy.

PC Number 1:

COOLERMASTER CM STORM SNIPER

AMD PHENOM II X6 1055T

ASUS® M4A78LT-M LE

4GB CORSAIR DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz

1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5770

640GB WD CAVIAR GREEN

CORSAIR 650W PSU

TITAN FENRIR EXTREME DIRECT TOUCH COPPER CPU COOLER



Total Price: £904

PC Number 2:

COOLERMASTER CM STORM SNIPER

AMD PHENOM II X4 965

ASUS® M4A87TD

4GB CORSAIR DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz

1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5770

640GB WD CAVIAR GREEN

CORSAIR 650W PSU

TITAN FENRIR EXTREME DIRECT TOUCH COPPER CPU COOLER


Total Price: £905

Which should I go for I've already gone over my budget so I can't spend anymore.

The PC will be used for gaming, current games played are Football Manager 2010 and The Sims 3 with expansion packs.

Although I would like the PC to have the ability to play some of the latest games if I choose to buy them, mainly Modern Warfare 2 etc.

So which would be best?

Thanks for the help, both prices include Windows 7 64-bit.

I wasn't sure if the Mobo was any greater difference, whether one was more suitable then the other?

Cheers.

Also thoughts on the Sniper Storm Case and the HAF 932 Case, I want ultimate cooling and not sure which one was best, Storm Sniper is winning at the minute, because of the dust filters, but the Storm is also £29 more, is it worth the £29 more?

Another concern of mine, if I went with the 1055T CPU will the PSU be able to handle it all?
