I'm looking for a gaming PC that can play a variety of games on Medium to High, so I'm not looking for Ultra here. The games I enjoy aren't too demanding, because I leave Battlefield and COD to the PS4/Xone. I want to use it for work as well, but nothing serious.

Which is the better PC or is there a better one out there for $800?

The Cyberpower pc one has a better graphics card and the newegg one has a better CPU. Personally I would go for the newegg one because upgrading the GPU is very easy and the i5s have a lot of power to stay relevant for longer.

would go for the first 1, the video card is enough, processor with different 0,5 ghz means a lot for me. that radeon is good enough anyway
