Hey all,
First time posting so not sure exactly where to put this topic but I've decided on buying a PC instead of building one as I only have a monitor, mouse, and speakers and thus need a lot of the other stuff that people don't usually include in their list. So to cut to the chase, I've made these two list:

I feel like the Buyxg buy is better due to the true quad core vs dual core w/ hyperthreading but it seems as though Cyperpower is more represented on these forums. Is there something I'm missing as in reputation or quality? Also is there anything I should be concerned about with the above builds? I tried to go as cheap as possible and prices include shipping...
It'd be great if I could get a response today as the Buyxg deals ends tonight! Thanks!
