Hard to say when the first one doesn't even say what CPU it has. Other than that, same GPU and 240 vs 120GB SSD, with same amount of RAM. So I'm thinking maybe it's not worth 300 more, esp since the first says it has an i7.

You're really better off getting the parts and putting it together yourself though. OEM builds don't even tell you basics like PSU, if it has retail vs OEM CPU, etc.

They do if you click the show more details button, Its called "Mehr detailz anzeigen" on the site in german, i didn't copy paste the CPU on here since they are both i7-4790K.

Since both PCs are very similar, I'd go with the cheaper option.

As long as you use the space wisely, I don't see why you'd need double the storage space in the more expensive PC.

That only matters if he wants to OC the CPU. If not, he'd be paying 300 Euro more just for another 120GB SSD space.

The 4790k at 4GH is plenty capable just at stock speed, and as hot as they run, don't OC very high anyway.

Personally I think he could do much better just building one, and the 970 isn't even the best GPU in it's price range anymore. About the only advantage it has over a 390 is ShadowPlay is better than Raptr, but that's more about side features than gaming performance.
