I do agree, it's not the best. Not even close for the price. Try checking out Newegg.com, the have GREAT deals 24/7 and if you decide to build your own the also sell components.

EIDT: I'd say the first is better :)

The second one is the better one because he can later on add a graphics card and it will easily out perform the first one. Still they really won't be great for gaming and if you choose to build one yourself you could get a lot higher performance.
