I ve been looking online n saw this one

http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/568_269999.html

It says the processor runs at 3.6Gz (is this the same spec as the 1.8Gz you mentioned.

I think this PC looks alot better than the one before and may be what i should de getting

Only minus is its got a 64 graphics card? whilst this one

http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/568_275093.html

has a 128

Its confusing buying your first PC - I think these specs will allow me to play games like BF2 etc. And do some video stuff for uni

Those are also pretty good priced systems but they both have "shared" video memory , that means its integrated on youre motherboard and using youre ram.
So if you have 512mb ram installed and an 128mb shared vga onboard then you loose 25% of youre ram.

And integrated vga is never very good anyway.

That second configuration i posted can play BF2 , maybe not 100% full graphics and speed but it will run pretty good.

The other 2 won't cut it with those integrated vga chips.

I would go for the best athlon 64 you can afford , atleast 512 mb ram , and a decent agp graphicscard like a radeon 9600/9800.
