in the long run you can upgrade the second one better

 

not to mention is has newer stuff

 

plus you have ssd boot

 

new video card although the 780ti is a great card

 

so on so forth

 

the I7 would only be good if you actually need it and 8 gigs of ram is all you need unless of course you will be doing more then gaming and such in where an I7 would benefit but atleast with system 2 you can throw an i7 in it later like my 4790k and throw more sticks in, its simple as that :D

I am not planning on getting SLI or anything later, but how long do you think I can have the PCs?

well both can really last about the same, but the second one has just newer stuff with a newer config, so in that regard I would say your better bang for your buck since they are the same price is number 2, you could hang with that for a few years and be happy with the current config, and less upgrading if you need it later on

 

I7 and 16gigs of ram would only benefit you if you do workstation stuff or content creation or more multi tasiking, but even that I5 should handle that fine at 8 gigs

to make a long story short, B is better all around, dont let the I5 and less ram throw you

Prices for both?

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life
