I have to buy one of the two computers that I will link in this post, which one should I purchase. Also please consider the price to performance ratio while making your answer. When doing the math the Core 2 duo machine seems to be the better choice although I am not completely sure. I need to get the computer ordered in the coming week or next week, therefore I can not really wait for a sales event in order to get a new computer. Also, I do not really have the option of getting a different one really as I need it from eBay because I have an account and have the ability to get free shipping. Please let me know which computer out of the two that I will link is the one that I should purchase.

 

Computer 1 with an AMD CPU:   https://www.ebay.com/itm/302218460896?var=601059992159

 

Computer 2 with an Intel CPU:   https://www.ebay.com/itm/302143986317?var=600969814434

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,

Due to the fact that I do not have a keyboard, monitor, and mouse actually after doing the math, that option would be a lot more (to some extent) expensive.

I made a grammar mistake in my writing of a previous post.

The essential reason that I have selected these computers is that they are a good overall (have the specs that I need, and also come with the needed accessories that I will be needing).

So buy a keyboard and mouse for, like, $30, a monitor for $50, and the tower for $50. $130 for better performance and more options.
