Are you attempting to buy both these? Not sure what you asking exactly. Like if you are asking if the cheaper one is all you need or if you need the more expensive one for this game.

As for my opinion on both they're not that good for the money in my opinion.

Exactly, was considering some pre assembled pc gaming suits, and found crappy high prices. So I wanted to share them and see what people think.

What site are you looking at?

In general I wouldn't go for anything above a 3570K (if you want to overclock) or a 3450. Hyperthreading and additional cores (like the 3930K) won't be that beneficial. Video card wise depends on your budget. I would look at anything like the 560 Ti and 670 from Nvidia to 6870, 7850, 7950, and 7970 for AMD. 8GB of ram is all you need also. 16GB wont be of benefit to you.

Random italian site, which has kinda high prices. I'm looking to buy it with instalments. I knwo where to buy stuff outside national websites, but I'd have to buy everything on it's own plus the country shipment(s) without instals of course.
Do you know any good place with pre-assembled (with a gaming clue) stuff?
Never bought pre assembled stuff but seems I have to.

Just one general rule: Right now you need nothing more than an i5 2500k and a good cooler to overclock it from 3,3 Ghz to 4Ghz, 8GB ram and the best graphicscard that doesn't blow your budget. Its as easy as that. Every i5 2500k can be easily overclocked to 4 Ghz (which is absolutely enough for EVERY game right now and the next few years). An i7 is for a gamer just a waste of money that should rather be put into a good graphics card.

I know places in the US however I'm clueless for Italy. Do you normally build your own? If so why? Installments is you paying with a CC or something along those lines?

Since I can't afford a direct-buy, was looking to make installments with a sort of CC of course. If I can find such offers outside europe/italy it would be good.
