In a couple months I am going to begin the ordering of my first pc build parts. I still haven't quite decided which computer would be better, and I was hoping a few people could give their opinions on each build. Don't base your argument on the SSD as I have already heard it. In the end, both build's will probably end up sporting the SSD for convenience.
