PC vs PC

[M_sked]

Basically, I'm getting a pre built Gaming PC off Currys PC World (No, I don't want to build/customise my own) and there are two that I'm really stumped on getting.
PC 1:
-i5-7400
-GTX 1050 2GB
-80PLUS Bronze ATX, 500 W PSU
-256GB SSD
AND a gaming monitor (144Hz) included
TOTAL: £999.99

PC 2:
-i5-6400
-RX 480 4GB
-300 W AC power adapter PSU
-2TB HDD 128GB SSD
and no gaming monitor
TOTAL: £899.99

I could get a good monitor but it will cost more than PC 1. The question is, which one would you get?

ALL help is appreciated

Well, for the first, it's doubtful the 1050 could provide 144 Hz in anything other than esports games at low settings. So that's a bit of wasted value, there.

PC 2 seems to be the better buy. It has a comparable CPU, but a much better GPU.

The first one would need a Z270, H270 or B250 mobo since it's a Kaby Lake.

Otherwise you'll have to buy or borrow a Skylake to update the BIOS first

that psu in pc 2 looks bad. pc 1 is better but with a sub par gpu. try for a rx470 for proper 1080p gaming.

The second one is the best but the psu seems garbage if you do get it spend a bit more and replace the psu asap. Even an amazing 300w psu is barely enough to run that.

Pre-built, no need to worry about BIOS.
