Which PC Should I Get?

I can't decide between two computers and I was hoping someone here could help me. This one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227537 or this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227594

 

I will mostly be gaming on it. If anyone can find a pre-built PC for under $530 that's better than either of these two that would be appreciated.

Fits the budget and is twice as better then a prebuilt one. If you got a HDMI port on your TV you can just plug a cord into the GPU and play on your tv.

@TheEliteTaco  I like Ramamataz's idea, too.  That's a pretty nice computer.  All you gotta do is turn some screws and connect some connectors.

the first one if you can't build one together yourself for whatever reason, get the first one and upgrade the GPU if possible

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
