My first question would be, what are you using it for, because you're comparing machines at face value, but not factoring in what you're actually going to be using it for. 

 

Also, in your sig it says you already have the first option, is this thread just to validate your decision or are you curious if you made a poor decision?

yeah, what games are you going to play, if arma then buy annother computer, if something like csgo or mmo games, then i think a dualcore would work fine

hah, then you can use a potato

if you are going to stick with games like that, then you can pretty much get away with any rig

i had a intel HD 2000 (potato graphic card) and could still run TF2, 60 FPS, and minecraft

 

here is a comparison with the two cheap card BTW

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-6750-vs-GIGABYTE-GeForce-GT-730

 

as you can see the AMD graphic card is a little bit better, but takes more energy and stuff

 

also the GTX 275 is actually worse than the AMD one

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-6750-vs-GeForce-GTX-275

 

The nvidia setup is trash

 

EDIT

i meant the non I7 one

altough i would go with the AMD one, even tough i prefer Nvidia

OH sorry, the I7 one has better Vram, altough the AMD rig seems to run BF4 fine

 

AMD graphic card

 

GTX 275

Both run BF4 fine, altough the I7 would probably be better for photoshop
