Hi, thanks for looking. I'm currently thinking of buying a gaming PC. All i want it for is to play games like Minecraft, Euro Truck Sim 2 and a bit of CS:GO. I don't want to spend too much money as i am only a moderate PC gamer.
I've found 2 gaming rigs on eBay and i need helping choosing which one would be better for playing the games that i specified.

The first one is £345.95
Processor: 4.2GHz Turbo AMD A8-6600K Quad Core CPU
Memory: 16GB RAM - HyperX FURY DDR3 1866MHz
Hard drive: 1TB Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm, 64MB cache
Graphics: 4GB AMD Radeon R7 240 Asus Graphics Card
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
PSU: 400 W
Sound card: Realtek ALC887 codec High Definition Audio 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel Support for S/PDIF Out

The second is £337
Processor: 4.2GHz Turbo AMD A8-6600K Quad Core CPU
Memory: 8GB RAM - Kingston DDR3 1600MHz
Hard drive: 1TB Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm, 64MB cache
Graphics: 2GB Nvidia GT 750 Ti Graphics Card
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
PSU: 500 W
Sound card: Realtek ALC887 codec High Definition Audio 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel Support for S/PDIF Out

If you could help me it would be much appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to look at this.

Second build, the graphics cards is better, anyway if you planning to play those game there is a way you can save money of OS, using Ubuntu or any distro of linux. You will save a few bucks there that can be use for your hardware. Of course at less you need to use other some software only avaible to windows or this build bring windows already installed. But those three game are support at linux.

OK, on the second one i can add an upgrade the ram to 16GB RAM - Kingston DDR3 1600MHz for £32 extra meaning it wsould cost £369 all together. Would this be worth it or not?

u could buy an SSD though for that extra 32 bucks.. and use it to read data (use it ONLY for installing OS, games, application)..it will give u AN EXTREMELY FAST SPEED difference compare HDD at 6gb/s at reading data (faster booting and opening games/apps)....and use HDD only for storage.
cheers :)
