As the Subject says, I don't know jack about Ghzs or Gigs or anything like that, but I really do need a computer.

I need a computer that can run the Unreal Engine Content development yoke, it says I need this -

Windows 7 64-bit
2.0+ GHz multi-core processor
8 GB System RAM
NVIDIA 8000 series or higher graphics card
Plenty of HDD space

I haven't a clue what any of that means, but I have €1000 to spend, and was looking at these:

Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor (3.40GHz, 8MB)
English Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
8GB 2 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz
