| The AAKS has a 16MB Cache, where as the AALS has a 32MB Cache. Get the AALS. Also, get the i3 530, no need for the 540. |

| looking at the VGA card I'm guessing the person who'll use this PC will never game on it? Since you still have €100+ left in the budget, I would squeeze in a 40gb/60gb SSD for boot drive; will make a world of difference to the overall experience and snappiness of the system.
