Hi, I was thinking about getting a Xbox One or PS4, but I thought I would get bored of it like my Xbox 360 ( bought it in December when Target was clearing them out and now I am bored of it, not really a console person ) and I decided to get a gaming PC since I will never get bored of it and they retain their price unlike consoles like one month it is $500 and its $400 a month later. So out of these 5 gaming pc's is the best:

1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-XPS-8700-haswell-core-i5-4430-GT635-8GB-1TB-GAMING-DESKTOP-COMPUTER-/321387526584?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item4ad43079b8

2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/iBUYPOWER-ARC-NE621FX-1-Desktop-PC-AMD-FX-Series-FX-6300-3-50GHz-8GB-DDR3-500G-/301200903040?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item4620f90b80

3. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CyberpowerPC-Gamer-Ultra-2175-Desktop-PC-AMD-FX-Series-FX-8100-2-8GHz-8GB-DDR3-/291157176772?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item43ca51f1c4

4. http://www.ebay.com/itm/iBUYPOWER-A10-7700K-Desktop-PC-A10-Series-APU-A10-7700K-3-5GHz-8GB-DDR3-1TB-HD-/380916205723?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item58b060089b

5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-Z710-17-Gaming-Laptop-Core-i5-4200M-Nvidia-GT745M-1080P-1TB-6GB-Win8-707-/271491239464?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item3f36238e28

So which one is the best? All look good, but only bad thing is that they are windows 8 ( not really a fan of windows 8 unless it is on a touch screen ) Right now I have a HP Envy 15 j009WM ( http://www.amazon.com/HP-15-6-Laptop-750GB-15-j009wm/dp/B00FDTHAVA#productDetails ) Also it is pretty decent at gaming. I can run any game I want at " lowest to mid settings " and about 800x by 600x resolution ( varies which game ) but I use my T.V. and upscale the resolution so it looks better, currently playing Assassins Creed 3. So which is the best? Also I plan to upgrade at a later time ( live by a local Fry's Electronic store ) and the sellers all have less than 3 negative feedbacks ( well except Newegg, but that's because they have lots of items for sale ) I am not looking to play games like Watch Dogs at " max resolution " with " max settings " just want to play " max resolution " and " low to mid settings "

NOTE: Please don't advise me to build my own gaming pc, I just graduated from school and will be very busy this summer with working and going to college.

-Thank You

Looking at the builds, you need a discrete graphics card, not an integrated card. This rules the 4th choice out.

Comparing the GPU's on the first 3 PC's they are all very similar:

The second and third are Radeon R7 250's and the first is a GeForce GT-635.
Both GPU's slightly out-perform the Lenovo laptop's GPU:

If it were me, I would go with the refurbished Dell. The Intel CPU will out perform both AMD CPU's.

Those are my thoughts.
