I have an HP 1740 monitor ( 1280x1024 ) and I'm planning to get a new PC for gaming. I have 2 choices :

  - i5 2400 / 8gb RAM / GTX 1050 Ti / 500Gb HDD / 300W Gold PSU + BenQ GL2250HM 1080p monitor      

  - Xeon E5640 / 8gb RAM / GTX 1060 6Gb / 500Gb HDD

 

Which one do you think I should go for? Thanks in advance.

@PatrickK These are the only options since building my own in my country ends up being out of my budget.

@PCGuy_5960 I can't put those graphics cards on the first prebuild PC since it only has 300W PSU, plus they're more expensive than the GTX 1050 Ti so I can't afford a monitor in this case.

Well yeah, thats why i said why not save up some more and go for a better build. Idk how badly you need a new build right now though, but if possible i would personally save up a few more months, and go for a better build in general
