Getting a new computer, I need help

[Omarmufc]

Hello. In 2-3 weeks I'll be purchasing a new gaming PC. I really wanted to build my computer but my mother is against me doing that for some reason. So, right now I'm settling between 2 things.

and

Please help. Which one should I choose?

id have to disagree i would recommend the 2nd one because the hp omen doesn't have a ssd only a hdd and ssds are a necesidy for all gamers. plus you save a good amount of money too

Buy the HP, and add a 250GB SSD later.
Another $100.

I'm not a fan of HP, but I wouldn't touch an ibuypower with a 10ft pole. Plus the HP has a much better gpu. I agree with USAFRet if those are your only 2 options get the HP and add in an SSD.

Your mother is against it?

We can give her very solid reason why to build your own.+ build it with an adult.

 

[Omarmufc]

I think I convinced her otherwise. I put this together a while ago and just edited it a bit a couple mins ago.

That build isn't bad at all. The power supply is a little weak even tho it'll be able to handle the system just fine.

For gaming kinda unbalanced and the PSU is not one I recommend for a gaming system. You could do better for the price.
