Some better spec information would've been nice, but I would go with the i3 + dedicated graphics. It's a better overall power spread than the i5 machine. You can't have a powerful CPU and nothing to take advantage of it.

Both this computers are selling 200 euros.

The i5 drawback is that is an old procesdor from 2011 and the computer box is very small if i want to add extra hardware cards hd etc...

The i3 in the other hand has a computer tower, with two dvd rw drives,ulti card reader, grafics card, plenty pc space to put in another hdd of extra hardware etc... I dont lnow the i3 type of processor.


My budget for the computer ix about 300 euros.

This is way better but probably also way over your budget
