That's worse in every way other than the extra storage. Would 500GB not be enough? What else is the system being used for?

500 gigs is fine but why is everything else worse

The motherboard isn't very good, the cpu has worse single threaded performance which is more important for what you're doing, the graphics card, psu, and mouse are worse, and the storage is slower.
