The 2nd one with the 290 is more powerful.

The only thing is I'm worried about it overheating, will it?

if the 290 is a reference card then yes, it absolutely will have heat issues. However, NZXT makes a kraken bracket, which when used with a CPU liquid cooler, gives you cheap GPU liquid cooling. The bracket is 30-40 and then add in a cpu liquid cooler and you will have amazing GPU performance.

I'm sorry, I'm a newbie what's a reference card? And will I have to put the CPU liquid cooler myself? I will be able to just wandering if it already comes with it installed. Also what frame rates will this get on bf4 ultra?
Thanks

Reference card is the vendor's initial specification

The GPU liquid cooler will have to be installed by someone either yourself or paying someone else to install it. It is highly unlikely that you can order a computer with GPU liquid cooling unless if it were a custom build.

That is an option but this is my first ever PC, I have had laptops, but never a desktop PC. I'm thinking of using a website like pcpartpicker.
