[Deleted]

So im looking for a new pc, and i know very little on the subject so was hoping for some help.

Which of these is better, are they worth the money, and how well will they do for gaming?

are they worth the money

No Most Pre built systems aren't worth it

how well will they do for gaming?

Not that well both of them have really crappy gfx cards
And there CPUs aren't that good ether

I would recommend building your own.
That way you get the most bang for your buck.

And building your own pc is not that hard ether
There are tons of guides on youtube.
Besides most PC repair places can build the pc for you for a small fee.
Or you can ask a computer savy friend to help you out.

you can look at Marest's Sample Builds over here

Both of those are really for what they cost, they can't even be called gaming PC's because they barely have graphics cards. More like Facebook/Youtube machines.

Not only is assembling your own incredibly easy these days (like lego) but you will get a PC that is literally 5x better than the ones you listed and still costs less.

Here's what I quickly put together:
