Neither one of those. Go with something name-brand.

I would HIGHLY reccomend an alienware(www.alienware.com) or the Dell Dimension XPS.

I already looked at there stuff. I have been looking for the past month and found that theres alot of problems with (Dells, ibuypower, cyberpower,) systems and there not really setup for gaming they mite look ok, But still I dont even want to deal with that mess. and (Alienware)is a little over rated and I dont like there look at all. just like I wont buy from ibuypower,cyberpower, Ztgroup, polysystems at all because there ratings are real bad (resellersrating.com)and there systems look like grap. Also there customer service is is real bad to I called all of them and the only one that realy sounded like they cared were Addictpc so no I will not pick ether one of the companys you named off and I bet you dont have ether one of there systems so please stay off my help post because your not really helping thank you. Also Addictpc looks a little original and you can add anything from there inventory and they will install it like it says.

Another choice would be Monarch. They have a high rating at www.resellerratings.com, and their prices are quite reasonable. They also offer more choices
for Athlon 64 systems than most custom builders.
