i would go with the first one.. you are getting a 1TB hard drive, an OS, and a better video card. I would get a new PSU though if possible.

Exactly..Please keep your future posts on one topic too. You posted 5 different topics for the same question here..We can see who posted when on one topic. SO in the future keep that in mind my friend.

Edit: I re-read this, and wanted to clarify that the posts you made could've been in one topic since it pertained to the same thing...I felt like I was implying you did something wrong(which you didn't), so I wanted to clarify what I meant.

1st PC but with a brand name power supply. No reason to skimp on the part that has the possibility of taking out the rest of the PC.

yeah defo the first and defo a new power supply. but still you could as i already mentioned use www.eclipsecomputers.com and for the same price as the first one you could get a much better pc.
