I want to get a pre-built under 1k (maybe a little over). I've been searching and now would seem like the time to get one. I'm not sure where to look exactly.
Right now, I'm looking at This or That
I can't build it by myself and I don't trust myself plus what would be the benefits ? I'm not sure I could get much better? I just want to be able to play your stereotypical new games without without any problems, I don't care much about the highest settings. Any help would be appreciated.
Update 1: Links Fixed (Sorry)
Update 2: What would you think of this one

According to their website it's $129.
Even then that's overpriced, give me a list of PC stores near you in your suburb or surrounding suburbs, you should be able to EASILY get it built for about $50-80.
Get this though if you're going to Microcenter, far better than either of the prebuilts listed above.

@Jakebox, the benefits are that you get significantly better performance for the money.
Get these parts together, bring them to a local PC store and ask them to assemble it for a small fee.

Typically a prebuilt computer will be at least about 150% of the price of a self-built computer with the price going up the better parts you get. If you can handle it, I'd absolutely suggest building your own. That said, I think that out of the two cheapest options from your links (they both went to the same page) you'd be well off with either of them if you're only planning to do light gaming such as CS:GO, LoL, or games of that capacity. If you want to play more AAA titles, I'd suggest going for the option with the GTX 1060 simply because of the quality difference between the two graphics cards.

It's a little under 200 for someone to build it for me at MicroCenter, so that's way over budget. Thank you for all your help. One last thing... If you had to choose which pre-built would be better, one of the two above or this one
