Help- Deciding between Two Computer.

Go to solution Solved by HPWebcamAble,

If you HAVE to chose one, get the one with the GTX 970 and 6700.

 

But just keep in mind that they charge for their custom case and putting it all together, you could build the same computer for $100-200 less

I am currently trying to decide between these two computer:

and

On my PC I would do video and graphics design, play games like GTA V, COD, and CS:GO at prefferably high settings. I know building a custom PC would be a better option, but at my situation right now, this is the easiest way to go for me. Any help on my decision would be appreciated.

 

Best wishes....

Possibly, can you show me a build with almost identical parts for cheaper. Maybe on https://www.pcpartpicker.com .

issue is that that'd be abused beyond belief, as well as legal concerns.

yeah. there should definetely be a warning that nobody takes responsibility if things go wrong.

a rating system for the builders should do the trick.
