Hi, I have been eyeballing these two "gaming" systems for a few weeks now. I have been trying to take my time in my decision. I would like to be able to run online games such as World of Warcraft and League of Legends on the highest settings (I am hoping to run raids on WoW smoothly on higher settings) . My ideal budget is $900 and below.
The first system that caught my attention was listed at $849.99. It is an iBUYPOWER TD610. It comes with the Eight-Core AMD FX 8320 3.5GHz, 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHZ RAM. The graphics card seems pretty decent, the AMD Radeon HD 7850. 500 Watt power supply. Here is the link to this system: https://t.tigerdirect.com/products/8529717
The second system that caught my attention was at first listed for $899.99, but dropped the other day to $699.99. It is called the iBUYPOWER REVOLT TD300. This one come with the Intel i5-4440 3.1GHz, 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz RAM. The graphics card in this scores a little less in a few benchmarks I've seen being an AMD Radeon HD 7770. 350 Watt power supply (which seems really low, but I haven't researched how important this is). The description says it comes with a liquid cooling system which seems unnecessary, but through reading reviews found out that it actually comes with a standard fan setup deal. Here is the link to this system: https://t.tigerdirect.com/products/8529718
I saw the Intel scored higher than the AMD processor, running WoW at like 120fps compared to the 80 something with the AMD. I don't know if the better graphics card with the AMD system would compensate for that or not...
I am also looking to start graphic design classes, so this system would soon be handling that. Although I don't mind getting either system or whatever is suggested, I am open to eventually upgrading parts like the graphics card or whatever. I am hoping to stay away from building my own as I don't want to risk messing something up.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and the input, as it really would help.
