Solution
I would recommend OPTION 1. The gpu is the most current generation which will future proof him. As far as the RAM, 32gb is better than 16gb. You’ll also get the ssd + 1TB hard drive for storage.

I’m sure others are going to not even blink to recommending you for OPTION 1. I’m not saying OPTION 2 is bad, but the pros outweigh the cons.
