Both come with the same 64gb ssd which I didn't list. Same OS windows 7 and prices include shipping and taxes.
Which one should I buy? And lastly the 1866 ram was the same price as a 1600 same amount so should I get the 1600 one or stick with the 1866?

Get an i7 4770k AT MOST. Even an i5 performs the same as an i7 in games. Those crazy video encoding work station CPUs will be out of date before you can even use 50% of their power when gaming.

Also, get 8gb RAM. ddr4 RAM will be out YEARS before games even need more than 4gb. 8gb is the max needed for any gaming computer.

Hey tiny voices! Don't know if you remember me but its glad to see your still around helping people. I sold my last pc that I built and got about a $309 profit on eBay so am getting this. So for the ram 1600 or 1866? I was thinking I could get the higher one and just put it at 1600 of need be. Like I said it was a same price so figured it might be worth it. It's by ADATA
