I will not be doing any overclocking. I'm only using this rig to play FFXIV and League of Legends.

Whats my best option here?

Neither. I would never purchase anything made by Cyberpower (their systems are extremely laughable for the budgets they provide, and components almost never match up like liquid cooling for locked processors), and that Newegg system is better, but you could definitely get a better video card for that budget.

This is what you should do for $900:

I would not recommend a Cyberpower or an iBuypower at all. Go with the build above^. Its more reliable.

Yeah both my work PC and my home PC I've never had a single second of downtime except for when I add or remove a component. On my work network my PC is probably the one that's had the least amount of downtime.
