Hello, I'm going to buy one of these PCs, but I'm not sure which would be a better one for gaming, so I want to ask for your help on deciding.
These are my two options:

Option 1:
CPU: AMD FX6 6300 3.5Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
HDD: 1TB SATA3 7200rpm 64Mb
SSD: 60GB SSD SATA3
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz with cooling
GPU: Radeon HD 7850 DDR5 2048Mb (256bit)
PSU: OCZ 700W 80+

Or

Option 2:
CPU: Intel® Core™™ i5-3470 Processor (6 MB Cache, 3.20 GHz) (Ivy Bridge)
Motherboard: H61 S1155, B3 Stepping
HDD: 500 GB
SSD: None
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 - 1333 MHz
GPU: GeForce GTX660 2 GB GDDR5
PSU: 550W

spec wise... I think option 1 wins... because:

1. More HDD + SSD
2. Op1 is 1600Mhz RAM while Op2 is 1333Mhz
3. H61 chipset is old so I'm not sure it can handle all the new features compared to H77.

Other thoughts:
1. The VGA are basically equal so no problem there.
2. CPU wise, Op2 are better (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/366240-28-3470-6300)
