    Thoughts on this system please...

    I might just be able to afford a new PC soon.

    I'm on a limited budget and have priced some stuff based on some specs posted here and all I can say it, you guys have some expensive systems hehe (at least, based on UK prices in the tin-pot banana republic )

    It's pre-built but looks like it might be a good machine. What do you all think?

    I'd be especially interested as to what sort of settings this machine could run LOTRO at, if anyone has any idea please?

    Maybe they are realistic, but so would be a system where once you died they deleted your character and I don't think anyone wants that much realism.

    Looks good to me, though it may be possible that there's something I'm missing.

    The only thing I'm not sure of is the power supply, but it's probably fine. Might just be me.

    I like that one, especially the GPU with 2GB of video memory.

    I vote for the first one.... should have no trouble running Lotro with graphics setting on high..

    the 2nd link you posted has shared video/system memory. not so good for gaming.

    While the second one has the better processor, the first one has the better (by far) video card. Shame you can't find something with an i5 and a GTX 260. You'd have what Anita runs!

    This is probably well outside what you're looking to spend, but it's a pretty good set up.
