wow thanks xD fast so they will be able to play the games easily?  or is there anything that can be upgraded later?

Neither systems should have issues playing the listed games and would definitely be open to future upgrades.

What currency are you using?  Where are you shopping/located? Is a copy of Windows or any peripherals needed?
