is this a very good computer?

HP e9240f Elite Media Center PC with AMD Phenom II X4 945 Processor, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HD, Blu-Ray, TV, ATI 4650 Graphics & Win 7

Its all for $949.99

or there is also this one for $999.99

Gateway FX Desktop PC with Intel Core i5 Processor 750, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HD, Nvidia GTX260 Graphics & Windows 7 HP

The second is better. Both are majorly over priced, the first one has a weak graphics card compared to the rest of its components. Both have too much Ram and Hard drive space, you're being ripped off if you buy one of those, build one yourself or use a custom build website.

i tried making a similar one at cyber power that was close to the gateway and it came out to be about the same price, like about $1,010

Build your own or at least buy the part your self then goto a pc shop and ge tthem to build it.

Guys at gamespot will help u find parts if you build it yourself the cost will be like$200 less than what you listed.
