I need a gaming computer for Christmas for under 550$ and to run SWTOR.
I found 2 computers from Best Buy with sales and I just want advice if there good enough and what upgrades I would need.

I really like this one but I notice that it has UMA graphics which I understand to be very bad. But otherwise, could I upgrade the graphics card and then will it be good?

This one Im pretty sure has everything required to play and the graphics are sufficient enough I think. This is a downgrade in processing speed from 3.0 GHz to 2.1 GHz.
Which one is better? Is it better if I just upgrade the Asus's graphics card or risk the processing speed and get the Pavilion with the good graphics card (someone confirm if im correct)
Any help is much appreciated.
