Hi There,

Firstly, Its my pleasure to welcome you to CompuForums. I look forward to you becoming an active member of our community. Whilst we are more than happy to provide technical help to our members, its always nice to see members helping other members or using the Lounge for non technical posts. It just makes it nicer to see members posting other than only when they need help or assistance.

Its always hard to advise people with questions like this, A lot of the time it boils down to people's personal preference. I think if it were me I would go with the first option as I prefer those options and the added bonus of 2 years warranty instead of one is always good. What are you planning on using the PC for?

Once again thank you for becoming a valued member of our forum. And I look forward to hearing more from you soon.
