they are both second hand and have a big price difference so im wondering which is better and the average quality and fps and if they need improvement just checking before i buy any of them any feedback would be welcome.
 
Those are two gigantically different price points.

#2 seems to give you a little more value for the money, personally.

what fps could i exspect from both pcs?

the first pc will give better fps due to the 780ti id say it would give you 100 fps in bf4 at maximum settings. the 770 will give you around 70 as i have one. The 770 can handle bf4 maximum 64 players on massive maps without dropping below 60fps.

personally id go for the 1st one, a 780ti alone will cose £450-500 new and it has a better case, cpu and hdd and RAM. although the pro vengeance doesnt cost that much more than standard.

id then get a decent cpu cooler, 120gb SSD and away you go. if you really wanted you could sell the i5 3570k and put a i7 3770k as the board can take it although the 3770k is maybe 10-15% faster.

although even a quick search around.

this is brand new and has better specs apart from the gpu.

id still say the first one because of the 780ti, although take a look at my link to the brand new pc, full warranty and everything.

the case fans may help keep the gpu cool but it wont do much for the cpu cooler. id at the very least change that for a hyper 212 or something similar if it has the stock intel cooler in as they are pretty damn terrible.

The first one has a newer CPU and also the stronger video card, but the second one is probably better value for money. To buy a GTX 770 brand new you'd be laying down around £250 alone which is only £150 less than the whole PC!

The i5 2500K is an older CPU but mine is still working very well indeed. Fantastic, timeless CPU. It was amazing back in its day and it's still awesome today! :good: There is barely any difference between the 2500K and the 3570K anyway.

You also get an SSD (although it's only 60GB and again, older and therefore SATA 3GB/s and not 6GB/s) and a newer OS, so it is probably the better PC to get.

im still not sure but the £400 one is great value for money as it also includes windows 8 and im still not sure if its brand new and im not looking for an amazing pc just one that can play games on high 30fps or above i bought a hd8570 6600k computer a few months ago for about 420 with everything included and it can only run heroes and generals on 8fps low settings and as they have no warranty i think im going for the £400 thank you for your feedback
