i would recommend the one with the 1060 since the gpu is slightly better

however if you want to buy the would advise putting a 500/240 g ssd in them since that will boost the performance in booting and loading games

 

However if you want the best deal for your money I would recommend building your own

I feel as though they are fairly similar in terms of performance, due to a HDD bottleneck, if it had an SSD at least as a boot drive, then the HP one would be better as the GPU is beefier and the processor isn't as power hungry

I agree with this person

[Stewed_Stew]

I'm inexperienced in building computers

[Happycowdance]

watch a YouTube tutorial there are lots

also since you might not have an os i would recommend going online and finding a cheap windows 10 key for your os

something like this

https://www.ebay.com/p/Windows-10-Pro-32-64bit-License-Key-Genuine-Professional-Activation-Code-USA/19005330460

 

and a build guide

 

 

[Stewed_Stew]

budget of around $900 max

[Happycowdance]

wait till black Friday and then use the build i suggested above since it should be alot cheaper and fit your budget

the build guide above will just give you an idea of where to place your components but you dont actually have to choose the same parts as he choose because pc parts have a universal standard so all of them will in the same place

I saw a ad about this website: https://www.digitalstorm.com/  are any of these computer good?

[Stewed_Stew]

I'm looking into the Vanquish 7. Seems like a good deal so far.
