go for the cheaper one unless you need an optical drive you wont get any performance increase and the upgrades you would like to do would be possible. Also you wont get any better performance by getting a better motherboard so the systems would perform identically so rather save a buck.

THANK YOU! I was sat here knowing the performance should be identical but i couldn't justify the second build being so much more expensive. The optical drive is not needed and was just included.

I would not get either. Get a Ryzen 5 1600 system instead.

you should consider building your own pc its surprisingly easy even a 3 year old can do it. you would save some money and it would teach you a valuable skill. maybe ask a friend who is pc savvy to help you if your afraid to do it alone

Build it yourself. It's like lego but a bit more careful.

i know its supposed to be easy and worth while but im afraid of messing it up, the delivery causing issues, and not having a warranty. the only pc wise friend i have is the same and opted for this website. custompc.ie .

If the components you buy are new, they'll have warranty. Just watch heaps of tutorials.

i watch the tutorials and build guides regular to get an idea of what i can upgrade and have in my pc. where would be best to buy parts in ireland??

[demonkoi]

its good that your building your own pc i work as a pc builder and technician i have built well over 300 computers its really hard to mess its like really expensive lego.

Look up some performance benchmarks for yourself.  Don't fall for hear-say.  Ryzen is within the margin of error on fps for most games, and tears through workstation loads.  They are also generally cheaper, all unlocked for overclocking, and can overclock on midrange motherboards.
