Sorry if this doesn't belong here. So yeah, I'm planning on getting a desktop on the coming Black Friday, since there are huge sales normally. I'm most likely going to be using the desktop mainly for gaming. I've customized two desktops on DELL, and I'm wondering which is better for gaming. These are the two desktops (I'm taking info off of the product comparison thing, and please keep in mind, I have barely any knowledge of computers whatsoever) :
