I'm looking into a new computer, as my current one is almost three years old by now. I've configured to systems that differ slightly, and I would like to get some opinions on which one is best.
Both systems have a Intel Core i7 920 processor, 1 Tb harddisk and a free windows 7 upgrade coupon (Which is why I'm thinking of upgrading now.)
The first system comes with Vista Home premium 64-bit, MSI X-58 pro-E motherboard, 6 Gb A-data 1333 mhz DDR3 ram, a Hitachi HDD, GeForce GTX275 896Mb videocard, Cooler master case and 700 Watt silent pro PSU.
The second system ships with Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Asus P6T deluxe mobo, 6Gb Corsair XMS3 ram, Western Digital Caviar HDD, ATi 4890 1Gb vid card and a Corsair 650 Watt psu.
A third option would be the Acer Aspire Predator G7710 (I like the looks of that case). This one also comes with a I7 920/6Gb ram, Nvidia GTX 285 1 Gb, 2Tb HDD's and a 750 Watt PSU, but (And this is a big 'but'for me) there's no info to be found anywhere on the type or brand of motherboard, HDD and RAM installed and I'm not sure if it will be fully compatible with upgrade parts.
The first system is slightly cheaper and comes with more software included, but IMHO some of the parts are of slightly lower quality than the second system (RAM and motherboard). The second system has Vista 32-bit and no option to upgrade to the 64-bit version. Would this be a problem?
