    it would be alot cheaper to build your own computer and prolly get a better computer out of it aswell but if i had to choose it would be #1 because of the good amount of memory , good video card, and good motherboard.

    you should better build a computer then buying one of these,
    i guess there are many online computer shops in sweden where you can build a computer and then buy it.
    Skip packard bell motherboards and go for Asus/Gigabyte?
    Or tell us how much money u want to spend max so we can help u out more

    I'm aware that building my own would be cheaper but the money is not a problem. The ones i listed are between
    8-1,400 USD.
    Couple friends told me to stay away from the Quad cores and find a Dual core with a higher Ghz while others say that i should go for a Quad.
    Personally im into #3 as it is but i'd love alot of other opinions.

    no don't listen to ur friend go for quad but for more bus speed
    a dual processor which runs on 333Mhz will be faster than a quad on 266Mhz.
    Else pm me ur msn so I can help u out via msn

    Totally depends on what games you play.. For KO the mentioned computer is just godly, but for newer games the graphics card is low end..
    Btw I'm AMD fan too

    It is mainly for games that are newly released or to be realesed but also for KO. Then again KO don't require alot.

    Packard Bell iXtreme X1632
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,40 Ghz
    4096MB RAM
    1-TB Hd
    NVIDIA GEFORCE 9600GS 768 MB (Free)

    ok some decent stuff,
    processor is great!
    mainboard is ok, not much overclockable but I don't think you're going to do it anyways,
    nd graphic card is even too much for ko hehe
    notice that your mainboard will not support 1100mHz ram modules, 1066mHz max

    EDIT: I would go for Ocz ram modules since they're like godly
