Which one would you pick?

In terms of the raw hardware the 200 euros is justified, however whether you need all the extra performance is for you to decide. Since you don't want to overclock the 2nd system may be better, however I would suggest seeing if you could swap out the storage for an ssd and separate hdd instead of the sshd (it's not super important, I just always recommend ssd's in new builds due to the large performance increase over an hdd).

Personally I would go for the one in the first link (http://www.hitech-gamer.com/en/Pro-Gamer-PC/PC-GAMING-PUNISH-V8-Sharkoon-T9.html). It has a processor that can be overclocked giving you more potential power in the future along with more powerful graphics card. It also has a dedicated 128gb ssd as opposed to the sshd of the other build which I'm not a fan of.

They both have their issues to be fair. The first one has a CPU that can be overclocked, as well as a better GPU. The power supply is very poor however, and I wouldn't trust it at all. The second one can't be overclocked, but will still perform fine in games, as will the slightly lower spec GPU. What sort of system do you have now?

Thanks for the quick reply guys. THe system I have at the moment I listed here :

I am not keen on overclocking, I'm not a hardcore gamer but would like a system that will last me a good few years. I believe the first one is already overclocked I believe. Isn't the normal clockspeed of the 6700 CPU set at 3.4 Ghz? So aren't they essentially the same CPU apart from the first one is overclocked? I was also surprised that the first one has a PSU of only 600W....I am sure I can ask them to up that to 750 or what do you think would be better?

I also didn't realise there was a difference between the SSHD and SSD, I did not notice that minute detail. Just thought it was an HDD and a SSD for both. The question is....is the first one worth the extra 200 euros?
