Solution


I said in that comment to get the IBP one....
It's actually pretty good value for a prebuilt.


Both of them have a socket LGA 1151 motherboard which means you can upgrade them to an i7 6700k when the time comes, and the GPU can be easily upgraded as well. I would just go for the 8gb RX 480 so that in the future you won't have problems with too little video memory.
 
You cannot crossfire or SLI a second GPU because of their motherboards, which are B150's, and only support one PCI x16. Size-wise, it all depends on the size of the GPU that you plan to swap with.
 


Tower size has no effect on the GPU but if the motherboard only supports 1 GPU then you won't be able to run a second GPU. Someone also notes that the PSU is only 600W which in most cases is too low (probably a low quality unit as well) to run a second GPU. Anyways your always better off getting the best single GPU you can afford.
 


You can get parts and send them to a store for assembly to get significantly better value, is that something you'd be interested in?
