I'd go with the second one, but do some research on both of the video cards. The $900 one has more and and more hard drive, but the $1,000 one has (what seems to be), a better graphics card.

I'd say go with the i7 as it's the newest cpu to come out and it's darn powerful. I'd suggest you go only ibuypower.com and look around.

Well both computers are very good, both quite capable of running WoW and beyond. Though the first computer is better because it has Intel's new "i7" core which is proven to be much faster than previous cpu's. You can't go wrong with ether choice, but spend the little extra money and get the first computer because it does have technology you can invest in.

wow okay thanks guys. but im going to still wait on more comments and decide after. and also i dont really like the outside look of the first one. it looks plain. and boring.

Just looking at the title i'd go with the 1st one. i7 is sexy and so is ddr3.

Overall, hardware wise the first one is better. Quality-wise, both suck due to the fact that CyberpowerPC has a habit of using refurbished components.

Intel Processors fail, but if you must, the 2nd one is the better option. Its graphics card is more than enough for your gaming. (You can change the case if you feel the change in aesthetic is worth the work)

find a friend that can build you a computer from different parts and install an OS + essentials. mine is 3x more powerful than both of those and only costed me 800.

That is a blatant over exaggeration. An i7 processor is $300, add and OS, and thats $400 which his half your system. Add a GTX 260 and thats another $200. $200. Considering early adopters fees are still out, an i7 motherboard and a few GBs of DDR3 ram will cost you more than $200. That doesnt include other components like the PSU and Case either. Plus, theres no consumer processor out thats 3x as powerful than the i7, so no, you dont have a system 3x as powerful for $800.

as what the other guys said, the i7 processor is very good. both comps would be perfectly capable of what you are trying to do so its really a matter of how much hard drive space and ram you want.
