Ok, so, I am wanting to and have been wanting to get into pc gaming (haven't pc gamed since windows xp when i played command & conquer: generals zero hour). I have been a console gamer on ps2, Xbox 360, ps3 and finally ps4. As I love my console I have always had a passion for computers and their internals but always lacked the $. Now its tax time and I can build a good computer. I started research on parts and realized "OMG WHY THE EXPENSIVE RAM AND GPU?!?!". I researched and learned of the crippling effects of crypto-monies to pc gamers, i tried prebuilts like cyberpower and alienware, xps, origin etc. Too expensive! I put together a build on PCPP with no fear of building my own pc. I was so happy with my result weighing in at $1,894..until i realized that i could go on Amazon and find a BETTER (stronger gpu AND cpu) prebuild for almost $300 cheaper!
I would LOVE to build my own rig but I am aware that right now isn't the best time for that..and that's ok..as long as I can GAME! Im not talking Minecraft..a 1050 can do that..NO I want CS:GO I want witcher 3, PUBG, Fortnite, bf1, COD, GTA V, R6 siege. Im talking ultra graphics on 1080p on AAA titles! 60 fps is unacceptable! I'm a diehard gamer and I want quality gaming. I'm not waiting months to secure a 1070 or 1070ti and I'm not settling for a 1060..but I digress..
I have come upon 2 prebuilts that hit right on what I want and will allow me $ for a desk, chair, keyboard, monitor and games (i already have a razer Naga chroma).

If you can find a better prebuilt for the money I challenge you and encourage you to post it here.
If you cannot then please tell me which you believe is better and why.
Please don't tell me about building your own rig being better because I completely agree! The market isn't here for that and i will in time just not now.
Thank you.
EDIT: I plan on buying when I get my tax $ which should be early to mid March.
EDIT 2: For the record this is what I put together on PCPP: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/YfAm4/saved/scLXHx
