I've never built a computer before but I feel I would get more of what I want out of one tailored to my needs and wants, so I was hoping I would be able to find someone who could help put together a build for me. I would want it to be $700 or less, the case doesn't have to be flashy, and I want it to be able to run newer games (Such as hopefully Titanfall) at medium to high settings on my 32" Tv which I think is 1920 by 1080. I could go maybe $100 dollars more. Thanks

1st one is about $800 so you get better performance than the 2nd one. It up to you if you're willing to add more $100 but still you can go wrong with the cheaper one.


If you want better performance, I would get the first one. Still the 2nd one is a killer build.

Well the $800 build can max current games on ultra settings 60FPS at 1080p especially on Battlefield 4. The cheaper build will max some less demanding games, BF4 will be like 40-50FPS depending on the video settings.
