He gave two options of prebuilt pcs and said he doesn't feel comfortable building one and you still make one up to build? *sigh*

Anyway. We have come down to the 750ti vs r7 370 since evrything else is pretty much the same. Alreayd I suggest 10 over 7 not because I like 10 more, but games will slowly start requiring 10 and DirectX 12 as time goes on and 7 starts to fade.

Seems like, after some research, that the r7 370 is faster than the 750 ti. Obviously for you the buyer, price will be a factor but I'd go with the 370.

Also, seems like a lot of AMD cards are gaining a small boost from DX12 and Vulcan. So there's that as well.

My budget is $1300-$1500 With Keyboards/Mice and Monitor

I don't wanna build a pc because I'm scared that I might break something like when putting the processor, I might break the little pins

Agreed. I'll edit the build to allow for construction costs. ;)
Go to a local PC store and get them to put it together. You can expect prices around 60-80 bucks usually.
Pay for windows installation etc if you want, but it is usually very easy to do, and a bit of a rip off imo.

I've had to downgrade the SSD to 120GB, meaning you will only be able to store OS on there.
The other options are either:
A. Having the build come out to 1457 with an RX 480 and 240GB SSD, and coughing up a little bit more cash. (recommended)
B. Downgrading the HDD to a 1TB WD Caviar Blue to get in budget.

ajpaolello, please read what we said.
We left budget in order for OP to get it built for him by a local PC store, it gives him more than TRIPLE the graphics and CPU performance he would get by buying a prebuilt like the ones above
Plus, I included a gaming mouse and a mechanical keyboard. T.T

OP I urge you, if you want to get the best performance for the money, go with the build i've listed and get a local store to put it together for you, you'll be severely disappointed for the performance you get for the money with the prebuilts you posted.

For reference, this is how much it would cost to put together something of BETTER performance than both of the prebuilts above.
Just stick on 80 bucks or so for a local store to put it together and you're set....

So he gives the two computers he wants, says how he sin't comfortable building a pc and wants to choose between these two, and you still push him to build a pc? Maybe he can get a better price for building but he doesn't want to build one. He wants to buy a prebuilt and we can't force him to buy something he does not want.
