Neither. Both have extremely weak graphics cards for a very high price. I strongly suggest you build the PC yourself.

As root said, both of them have really low end graphics cards for such a high price. I recommend building it your self.

That was the exact same advice but worded differently. .
Anyway my advice would be for the price you are paying it's not worth it because the graphics cards in both those are very poor, I would have to recommend you custom build the desktop yourself. :trollin:
