Which one is better?

 

This is also my first custom pc too, are there any important things to know when building it?

I would say the second build would be better value and last longer.

Thank you

The second build is better. It has a better CPU (in terms of IPC and upgradeability) and a better graphics card (in terms of performance).

Which one is better for running GTA, The Forest, No Mans Sky, and games like that

The second one due to the increase in graphics power (the 6400 at 2.7GHz is still fine).

Ok, thank you, do you know why most people are saying the second one is better? Would there be a reason for thinking that?

Probably the faster CPU, they're forgetting that the 1150 socket is dead.

Ok thanks

Also the second one has an SSD and a better graphics card than the first

[nicholasfmathison]

So then why is the first one better? What things are better?

Put it into words that a noob would understand =)

Ok and is it better to shut down your computer, or keep it on sleep during the day. Because I am on it on and off during the day.
