Hi.I will buy a desktop computer. I have two options.
First: 1 GIGABYTE G1-SNIPER B5
2 SEAGATE HDD DESKTOP SSHD 3.5"/1TB/64mb/SATA/7200rpm
3 KINGSTON HyperX DDR3 Non-ECC(8GB(2x4GB kit),1600MHz) CL9 XMP X2 grey series
4 INTEL Core i5-4670K(3,40GHz,1MB,6MB,84W,1150) Box,INTEL HD Graphics 4600
5 GeForce N560UD,1GB GDDR5, 256bit
6 FORT-SUPL-RAIDER-750
7 SUPER_BLADE_298W
8 LITE ON ODD IHAS122-14DVD
and the other option
1 Haswell Core i5 4670K (3,4/3,8 GHz Turbo Boost, 6MB L3 , 1,2GHz GPU, LGA1150) BOX, without fan
2 Asus 85-PLUS
3 1000GB WD Black, SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm, 64MB
4 ATX, RAIDMAX Simplex
5 Thermaltake Contac 30
6 LG GH22NS70 SATA
7 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1600C11 EDIT: TWO of them
8 AMD 7870 2GB 256 bit
So they are with same price. Is there a big difference? And which motherboard is better, which video card and which ram memory?
If I post it for a second time excuse me please. I am a beginner and i am lost in your forum.

second is better, but you do need tho include a mobo, to match your cpu, get a 1150 z87.

If that's a Raidmax PSU in the second one, that rules it out, unless you can replace it with a quality PSU (e.g. one built by Seasonic, Superflower, or Delta).

The gpu (7870) is much better on the second build. The 560 is a pretty old card. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-7870-vs-GeForce-GTX-5...
The second build only has 4gb of ram but you could probably upgrade in the future.
Overall, i think the second build is better and when you can add another stick of ram.

Are you buying either one preassembled? I'm suspicious on the cases and/or PSU as a faulty, non reliable PSU can damage your entire system.

Either way, for both options the motherboard is a terrible fit for the processor.

But to answer your original question, the second one is better, only because the GPU is much more powerful.

I made a mistake with the quantity of ram sticks in the second option. There are 2 sticks.

Today I received the two offers. They are not for a preassembled computer. The offerers will assemble the configuration which I prefer. I can ask for changing some of the parts if their providers have them available.

Yes. It's PSU. I will ask for another option for PSU.

Ok, then I'd choose the second config with the following changes:

-A Z87 Motherboard.
-A branded PSU of at least 500-550W, from a reliable manufacturer (Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Corsair).

If you can get a decent PSU in it, I agree with DracoSense that the second build is stronger.
Edit: I agree with Pepito's changes, especially if you're interested in overclocking. If you are not, particularly to offset the cost of a better PSU, you can get a lesser H87 motherboard and a non-"K" CPU.

Would you give me a link for the motherboard you are talking about?

Thank you, guys. I think my problem is solved. I will choose the second one and will ask for the changes you recommended to me. And for best solution I would pick PepitoTV's if I didnt pick another by mistake. Thank you all.

Based on your last remark, I have changed your B.A. selection to PepitoTV. Please let me know if that is not what you intended.
