Please Help with Configuration

Hello everyone,

Well I found out I can't build my own computer and get reimbursed for the cost from my employer, so buying a pre-made will have to suffice.

Here are the two options that I think are best for me, within my budget of $1000 and for what I need.

MicroFlex 82B
HP m9300t

Here is what I need the desktop for, gaming (WAR&Warcraft Lich King), excel/powerpoint, internet surfing/downloading movies/burning movies. Not looking to overclock or get fancy with it, just something that will run smooth for playing games and doing work related task.

Any advice would be appreciated on the configuration, and a good monitor to go along with either of these systems.

Thanks

Both are major overkill for the sort of work you mention.
The first one is better for games, and the second one for work.

This guy explains it better than I can:
