Found these gaming PCs online and need a comparison

[edlanger100]

Ok I’m not amazing computer components and I’m looking at affordable gaming pcs, I’ve found these two bargains online and need to check if the second one is worth the extra £20. Both are around £500

First one:
https://www.fiercepc.co.uk/ironwing-ursa
AMD FX-8300 3.3GHz (4.2 Turbo) Eight Core Processor
Stock Cooler
NVIDIA GeForce
GT 1030 2GB Graphics Card
ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 Motherboard
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 (1 x 8GB) Memory
1TB SATA3 6Gbps Hard Drive
500W Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

Second One:
https://www.fiercepc.co.uk/ironwing-exile
AMD Athlon X4 845 3.5GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Quad Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Graphics Card
Stock Cooler
Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2 Motherboard
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 (1 x 8GB) Memory
1TB Seagate FireCuda Solid State Hybrid Drive - 5x faster than HDD
500W Power Supply
300Mbps USB WIFI Adaptor
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

Thanks in advance

Both are bad. Why, because the motherboards they are based on are old and dead-end. Don't waste your money.

Look for something in your price range with a B250 motherboard.

I'd rather have a gtx 1050 ti in those to be honest,but that makes things even more expensive.

Windows might be used the next way which would give some funds,but i don't know for how long,

The option of getting something used is there as well.Something like this,
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Precision-T1700-Xeon-E3-1246-v3-3-5GHz-8GB-1TB-NVS-Win-10-Pro-Desktop-PC/372177291525?hash=item56a77ec905:g:jpcAAOSwDkVaMU~M
put a gtx 1050 ti in there.
There;s alimited warranty on this of 3 months and maybe other things to consider,but performance should be good.
