They're both pretty damn equal, but I'd pick 2 because it has a faster processor.

I'd go with 1.

Neither, because they either have a old to none graphics card, medium to bad HDD, and old processors. You have to build a rig by yourself which matches budget 200$, if you really want a good rig. Take option 1 if you want the graphics card.

Computer #1 is better. In fact the E8400 is almost double as powerful.

Re: Buying a desktop. - Niko_boy - 24.11.2013
both of them wont gonna deliver you any good performance , you will have to set game settings to very lowest to get some playable FPS with HD 3450,
get a budget of like 300-350$ and you can get a decent med end gaming PC to run all games!
Re: Buying a desktop. - summer10 - 24.11.2013
the second would work fine with most of the games
Re: Buying a desktop. - iZN - 24.11.2013
I'll prefer the first one.
Re: Buying a desktop. - -Prodigy- - 24.11.2013
Don't even bother. A 200$ budget PC won't get you anywhere in terms of gaming. Just wait, collect more cash and then buy something. I doubt that PC would even run any 2010 and below games.
