Hello, I am currently debating between two potential desktops to purchase for gaming sakes and was wondering which one would be a better buy in the long run. Any help on which I should buy would be greatly appreciated :).
The debate is between the two desktops below here, one of which is a Dell, and the other a Gateway. I heard Dell was more reliable than Gateway though.
