Well instantly I'd say the second one because 2GB of 1333mhz RAM is just not enough. You might want to look at some other computers dude, $180 seems strangely cheap and it may be cheaply made. Can you tell me what the PSU is?
 
I wouldn't go with an i7 3770K if this is exclusively for gaming. I'd save money and go with an i5 3570K.
 
I wouldn't touch an HD 5450 for gaming. If you went with an i5 3570K and used onboard graphics like Bigfella said, you could at least easily upgrade to a dedicated graphics card in the future.

Before I had my 5870 (which I got cheaply off eBay), I used my i5 2500K's HD 3000 graphics for gaming and I could play Dirt 3 at medium I think and it ran alright. The HD 4000 graphics on the i5 3570K are an improvement over the HD 3000 graphics on my 2500K.

yeah right, if ill go with the hd5450 it will be just a waste of money.
maybe ill just get i5 for the HD graphics and soon will buy a Graphics card
and that will be a good option for real gaming.
thank you for your response. i really appreciate it! you always suggest excellent options! :P
 
No problem! And yeah, I agree the 5450 will be a waste of money, it's not really a gaming card by any means (it's quite old now too).
