Both system are around £820 price range and cannot go no higher because my Mrs is also getting a new system ..

Any advice will welcome

they both sound nice _X , maybe worth going for RAID 0
2x 300GB WD VelociRaptor would be sweeeet, if ya got the cash of course

Personally I would build it myself I wouldn't leave it upto a production line to knock up a pc. <!-- s8O --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt="8O" title="Shocked" /><!-- s8O -->

Build it yourself _X Its the only way to be sure. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
