neither of those are particularly great, one has way outdated hardware and the other is not a great value, would you consider building a computer? or should I help you find a prebuilt?

As I stated my friend's parents won't let him build a pc. They think he will break something. If you could find a better prebuilt that would be good

I HIGHLY suggest saving a couple more pennies and going with this

We've had many people with this problem, show them videos, threads, people who say it's easy and how parts come with warranties making it, some easier than others to replace. Most importantly, have him confidence.

I doubt his parents will back down. This is especially true because he knows very little about computers. I offered to help him build it but his parents said they prefer not to place expensive components in a friend

That looks pretty good. I'll ask him if he could do $720

Have him do research, you don't even have to touch the parts just guide him through it. Hell it'll probably be better to buy the parts have a local shop build it for him.
