If you're going to be using it for moderate gaming, you're going to want a card better then the x300 or 7300.

The difference between the two isn't great. If you think you're going to use alot of storage with videos, music, photos, ect, then get the 2nd computer.

Because the only major difference between those two, are the CPU and Hard Drive. And the price difference for the 2nd one, in my opinion, isn't worth the extra money.

So if I were you, I would go with the first one, but I would consider upgradeing the hard drive if you need more storage, and upgrading the video card if you can.
