The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

TBH, I'd get the cheaper one and just replace the graphics card and PSU. That's what a friend of mine recently did, and got himself a great spec'd PC for less than he could have built one for.

Yeah but then you're stuck with Gateway's BIOS.

Yes, but you have to remember the large majority of the world couldn't give two fucks about overclocking, but still want good computers.

EDIT: Honestly? What kind of criteria for buying a computer is that? Clearly if you're not building your own you're not going to have the know how to OC.

If one can replace PSU, one can pretty much build a computer. The only other thing that might be considered hard is attaching CPU

I did the PSU for him. But he was pretty against building his own. I figure anyone that's played with Lego could build a computer.

That's pretty much every DYIers phrase.
