please comment on my selected builds.

EDIT: my requirements are to play games like counterstrike and warcraft at optimum performance and work with intense programs like anti virus, digital editing programs like photoshop and be able to alt-tab to programs no longer than 2 sseconds.

1. reliability or quality
2. compatibility
3. performance

it would be great if you could tell me how you compare both builds, through the pros and cons, and arriving at a final conclusion which one is better.

i appreciate ur honest comments and please guide me as i am building a computer of my own for the first time.

i would also want to know, if there is any thing that i left out, or anything that i could replace so as to get better quality gadgets at similar prices.

another enquiry, can the drive that i selected in any of the 2 builds be able to read cds, write cds, read dvd cds, write dvd cds,burn cds and rip from music cds?

one last note: can i install windows xp home edition in this build? coz i have disks that was previously used by the old computer for reformating. there are 2 disks with ACER trademark written on it.



thank you!
