Hello, thank you for viewing my thread. I am looking at these two kits at the moment. I'd appreciate some feedback, and possibly other suggestions.

Thank you.


Edit:
There are some more kits here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?Lprice=200&Hprice=499.99&Nav=|c:332|&Sort=3&Recs=10

I am willing to spend around $220.

What is your back up PSU? This biggest risk of these barebone/prebuilts is the mobos and PSUs.

The link to your 2nd build is very different aswell. The link shows a 450w PSU and different mobo than the one you stated.

Edit: the only way I'd consider one of these barebones was if I had a spare HDD/PSU. With only a $220 budget, you might not even get a GPU, so unless you have one of those you'll need to go for an APU build
