Hi all,

Buying a new pc during Black Friday sale, narrowed it down to the two following units:

VS

Quick comparison:

HP $1199 on sale for $899

Pros: Core i7 3.6 GHz, dvd burner, wifi, Bluetooth, keyboard & mouse...
Cons: GTX 1050, 12GB RAM, no SSD, 180w PSU

Aeon $1299 on sale for $999

Pros: GTX 1060, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 300w PSU...
Cons: Core i5 3.4 GHz, no burner, wifi, Bluetooth, keyboard or mouse

Otherwise the same. Heavy PC user but occasional gamer. And go!

Thanks in advance.

of the two, the i5 with the 1060.

but for $1000 you can do better on a build-your-own

What is your normal PC workload? You say heavy user with occasional gaming. The i5 with the 1060 is better for gaming and the 7700 with the 1050 will be better for more work station applications due to hyper threading. screwysqrl is correct you could do better by building it yourself.

Build your own! If not, then get the i5 gtx 1060
