I need a bit of help. Which out of these two is better for Gaming/Rendering/Graphics? I want a rough idea and could you tell me also how much fps i would run on games such as Minecraft and CSGO on both computers? I am not building this, these are pre built and are very cheap. I just need a bit of advice! Thanks!

Number 2 is better for sure. Also what is the cpu for the first build and that's not how it work you can't add up the core like that.

Mainboard:ROG-STRIX-B360-G-GAMING/Cpu:I5 8400 /Gpu: Galax RTX 2070 /Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4/ Storage:1TB HDD 2 Corsair SSD PSU : Corsair 550W/Cooling: Silverstone Air Cooler/ / Case : Corsair/Keyboard:Razer Chroma TKL/Mouse:Mionix Castor+Steelseries Qck Mass/Headphone:V Moda M100

Number 2. With games like CS:GO and Minecraft (ew) you should be able to achieve anywhere from 45-90 (maybe) on good settings.

Clock-speed doesnt stack,

If the clock-speed stack GPU's in particular would be on like 1000Ghz, since most GPU's has between 700 and 1200 cores.

Vram doesnt stack when being in Crossfire/SLI configs.

1tb HDD isnt very Massive anymore, It is pretty much the standard now.

The system with the i7 is Far superior against the other one.

It has a newer GPU(The R9 280x is just a 7970 but rebranded)

Which should be about 2-4 times better than a pair or 4870's.

And a SSD which would help when booting and starting programs.

My youngest brother has a i3-530 and a GT440 paired with 4gb 1333Mhz RAM, He runs CS GO at about 90-130fps at medium settings.

And in minecraft he is running at 60-160fps maxed out.
