I would choose the second machine, only because it has the highest chance of running crysis.

Both systems are good but I would go with the second machine. The videocard is better on the second machine.

appreciate the help that was the one i was leaning for but i thought maybe the other was better for the price
Thanks again

The second one also uses a known motherboard manufacturer (made public). The only thing that I don't like is that it uses an Apevia power supply, but that can be easily swapped (especially if you upgrade the video card to play Crysis better.
