Okay, I have a $350 max budget, and I have two builds I want you to take a look at.
Which one would you choose, not just for performance, but for value? Please don't list off any parts you think might be good. I just want your opinion on these two builds. I know the graphics card isn't the best, so please don't discuss that either.
