Which pc build should I go with

Solution
The first build is very good. I would get win8.1 for sure though.

The second build has problems I would address before considering it. Namely cheap PSU that is low quality.

I'd say it's worth the extra money, but it depends on your monitor resolution, and what specific games and applications your using.

The CPU in the cheaper build is definitely starting to show it's age.

For the 2nd build, grab a XFX or SilverStone PSU for the same price.

Ah, good catch.

It would probably still hold back a newer build, but again, it all depends on the specific usage, needs, and monitor resolution of the OP.
