CPU is a little better on the second one. HD7770 is also a slightly dated card. Basically the entry level gaming card from AMD of the previous generation. And they didn't bother listing the powersupply. Cyberpower PC usually skimps on ram and power supplies when they put their systems together.

For your budget, what I recommended is about as good as it gets. Might be able to scrap an intel build for under $800 but you would lose some video performance (which is exactly the compromise Cyberpower made)

I may have posted that second link since you posted, so should I go for the second link one or your suggestion? It's mainly the graphics card I like on that second link.
