Question

Which PC of the 2 should I buy?

Jul 6, 2018 5:24PM PDT

I can't decide on which pc to buy... First one's cpu and gpu are : AMD Ryzen 3 1200 / AMD Radeon RX550, 2GB/GDDR5/128bit and second one's cpu and gpu are : Intel Pentium G4560 / nVidia GeForce GTX1050, 2GB/GDDR5/128bit .

IMO the first pc has a good cpu/bad gpu, and the second has bad cpu/good gpu, and i have no idea what to do... Both pc's have 3.1 GHz, 8 GB RAM, DDR4, 1TB SATA3, 7200 rpm rotation.

One more difference : The first one has ATX 450w PSU and the second one has ATX 550w PSU. Help! Sad Thanks in advance.

If you think they are not good enough for you, buy another with all components matching your requirements.

What are you going to use this machine for?

If you say gaming then lean toward the gtx 1050.
