Need Help between two computers

[GhostlyZe]

Currently looking at two computers:

1. http://goo.gl/Fa2ixk
2. http://goo.gl/XSpbdy

Which computer would be better for gaming? No, I don't plan on upgrading these, just using them out of the box. I plan on using the integrated graphics for the games below.

Games it will be playing:
- CS:GO
- Garry's Mod (100+ Add-Ons)
- L4D2
- Starcraft 2
- Warframe

Looking for an answer before the NewEgg sale ends, so help would be appreciated!

While the i5 processor in the ATC-605-UB12 will be much faster for everything else...
...purely for gaming, the A10-6700 APU's graphics that the M11BB-US001O has will make it a much faster gamer. The Intel iGPU can't compete with the one in the APU. Here's a review of the A10-6700 using integrated graphics: http://wccftech.com/amd-a10-6700-gpu-performance-exposed-80-faster-core-i53570k-20-a105800k-3dmark-11-fire-strike/

Now... if you ever think you may want to someday invest in a discrete gfx card, the i5 machine would be preferable by a long shot. If not, stick with the PC that has the A10-6700.

THE SHORT VERSION the ASUS computer is with the Better GPU and a bigger hard drive while the Acer computer has better everything else. i wont tell you which id better but if you are going to use them straight out of the box without any upgrades at all the ASUS computer is better but if there is any chance that you will upgrade then the Acer computer is better.

THE LONG VERSION The A10-6700 APU has better integrated graphics than any Intel GPU until the newest Intel GPUs that are not released as of yet so for the GPU side the ASUS Desktop with the AMD APU wins for the CPU side though Intel wins by a lot. As Windows 10 is coming out soon i do not see what difference it will make between them for the OS if you are planning on getting the free " Windows 10 Upgrade " any how.
The Acer Desktop though comes with a 2TB hard drive while the ASUS Desktop comes with a 1TB Hard drive and you will be surprised by how fast 1TB can go with games and mods specially texture mods which seem to be huge in size. For this though you could always just buy an external drive and/or get a flash drive for stuff i guess though that will mean decreased speed ....
RAM between them is the same amount so equal there.
The Acer Intel one says it comes with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and a/b/g/n wireless while the ASUS Desktop comes with " Gigabit Ethernet " but no wireless so decide on how you will want to get it into your home router / modem to connect to the internet to game and etc. IF Ethernet then either is fine if wireless then you will have to go buy another part for the ASUS desktop to be connected.
Both have a 300Watt PSU so really upgrading anything but the hard drive will require a PSU upgrade and/or a new PSU addition to the case if you are into case modding for a dual PSU case of course.
The Acer Intel comes with VT-x while the ASUS A10-6700 does NOT come with AMD-X but if you do not know what those things are you do not need them.
The Acer computer claims a DVD +/- RW drive while the ASUS computer claims a DVD -RW drive not much difference but might be depending on if you still even use DVDs.

@clutch and @yumri

Thanks for your guys feedback!
I think I can see myself nearly filling up 1TB of HDD, though I don't have an issue with space, since I'm pretty efficient to that sort of stuff, in terms of saving space for anything and what not.

On terms of DVDs, I don't use them anymore, nor do I find a use for them so it doesn't matter to me.

For the iGPU that they both have, I was having a lot of trouble debating between the two, since the AMD iGPU is better than the i5's iGPU, but the computing power is completely different.

For Networking, I'm using Ethernet over Wireless, due to distance from the Router and inability to move it, so I'm perfectly fine and content with using Ethernet.

Anything else I should note before choosing which to buy?

not really i highlighted all the important factors that you might run into you might want to plan on getting an external hard drive or some external storage if you are into storing your music, pictures and/or videos on your local machine but otherwise there is nothing else to consider. I do agree with clutch though that you might want to get a independent graphics card at some point when you want to play more games that actually use the graphics processor more than those do.
