Ok, Im looking between these three computers, I dont know much about the differences between them so any feedback and suggestions would be great

Just to be clear, I can NOT get the computer custom made(E.G bohica's store) as my parents are buying the card through buyers edge since its easier to make monthly payments    As much as i would like it custom built i cant, so im going with what i can get. 

PC 1: $1399
CPU: AMD A6 2.6ghz
Ram: 8gb 1333Mhz
HDD: 2tb SATA 3gbs NCQ
Graphics: ATI- Radeon 6570-2gb PCI-E graphics
Opitcal: LG Blu-ray Re-Writer
Media card reader
Wifi: 802.11 a/b/g/n
Windows home premium 64bit

PC 2: $2199
CPU: i7-2600 3.4ghz 4mb cache
Ram: 16gb 1333mhz
HDD: 2tb sata 3gbs + 90gb SSD
graphics: nVidia  Geforce GT530 -2gb PCI-e graphics
Windows home premium 64bit

PC 3: $1998
CPU: intel core i7-2600
Ram: 16gb DDR3 memory
graphics: AMD radeon HD 6570 1024mb
windows home premium 64 bit
HDD: 2tb

Hopefully there is enough infomation there, im wanting to hopefully play BF3, ArmA and any new games in the next year or so on high without any problems at all. So please let me know if this is a "good enough" computer

Thanks for the help

the options from 2 and 3 the processor is good but the vid card is lame and has too much ram 6 GB should be enough for gaming and you would be better off getting a better graphics card around the GTX 560 or better
HDD as long as it is a 7200 rpm it should be ok

[Sillen]

None of the gfx cards are any good so I'd go PC 2 for the ssd and then see if you can pick up a decent 2nd hand card or mow bohicas lawn 'til he gives you one

~$100 would be enough for a decent 2nd hand card, 4890, GTX260+.  That way you would at least be able to play some games, $250 for GTX560, even better.

[MrMagic]

anyone feel free to post some other computers from a major store, eg dicksmith, harvey etc

Depending where you live... you can get custom computers form landmark computers (Australia) and that where I got mine from for $1200. Specs:

i7 2600 3.4-3.8
8gig ram
GTX 560 Ti (EVGA)
64 bit W7
Motherboard that is capable of 2 GTx 560 Ti's SLI'd.
700W PSU.

Good deal

[Scuppers]

Man neither as all the GFX cards are out of date.

will always be better than what ATI puts out

Also Magic if and when you choose a pc ive found that having Intel and Nvidia togethers work very well mainly cose they were designed that way, same as if you put AMD and ATi together.

You can mix them (ive done it before) and you will still get good performance just not the full potential in my opinion

No I've never found that the case personally

Harvey norman have a 50% off computers this weekend. Heard it on the radio this morning(victoria).
Harvey norman will put a better video card in for you, so get them to quote on an i7 with a better video card like an nvidia 570 or 580, if the budget cant stretch to far then a 560ti.

Personally id wait for bohica and see if he can do some awesome deal for ya with GE, ive heard he even gives out free reach arounds. Plus his support is awesome ive heard him help people out remotely, really you cant get better support then that.

agreed, that sounds dubious

everyone has there own opinion and from my personal experience i found it better not to mix them
