The CyberPower from TigerDirect has a much better graphics card. It may be pointless to compare, it appears that the iBuyPower from BestBuy is sold out.

But in general, you care most about the graphics card, if you are buying gaming PC, and the CyberPower has an R9 270, which is quite a bit faster than the R7 250.

Yep. Honestly that card is pretty solid and will be fine for games for quite a while at perfectly reasonable resolutions.
 
The CyberPower PC has a significantly better graphics card. With the price being and specs being otherwise the same for the two systems, it's the better deal.

There's some good deals on solid state drives right now, so if you've got some wiggle room, take the savings from the sale and buy one of those. Then load your OS on there and use the hard drive for games.

Have you thought about doing a scratch build? Latest crops of Intel i5 "Haswell" CPUs are at least as fast as those lower end AMD-FX chips, but run cooler and use less energy. Newegg has some parts bundles in your price range that include an SSD. GTX 750 isn't as good a GPU but you can always sell it and buy a better one.

Also yeah, console gaming isn't the place to be asking about PC configurations. General Hardware is where you want to post. Maybe one of the mods can move this thread for you.
 
I know this isn't what you asked, but is there any reason you want to buy a prebuilt PC instead of building your own?

You can DIY and get a much better PC for a better price.
 
Not even there.

This is a PC hardware question. As posted earlier, General Hardware is the place.

And it's in console gaming. Almost as Charlie Sheen as it gets.
