and my laptop always having a issue.

i already have a computer set but my system unit was destroyed because of the power supply.

1 GB video memory is enough for you to play games on mid settings.

Go with this one :

Both system units are not suitable for gaming.
The Emaxx MCP61D3 has a Geforce 6150se which is if you search a bit on youtube you'll find will struggle even with most wanted 1.
The Second choice is an APU which means it has onboard graphics too which is the Radeon 6530D but this one is more powerful.
Higher GHZ doesn't equal more powerful that goes the same for the amount of vram too.
the A6 tri-core will outperform the dual-core 260.
and the 6530D will handily smash the 6150SE
however if you want more serious gaming you will need a discrete graphics card not an onboard one like the HD 7850 or GTX 550ti.
