I have to make a choice between two builds at approximately the same price and figured I'd get some feedback from you guys here at TomsHardware.... so if you had the choice which build would you choose?
Notes
- Processor and video card are the same
- only difference between hard drives is Build B is larger (1TB vs 640 GB)
