Choice of PC
Overall they're both pretty similar even in price however I would give the edge to the first one but only if you can swap the Nvidia Ge Force 7025/630 graphic card for another one.Didn't you buy a brand new ATI HD4670?If yes then it would be perfect as the Nvidia 7025/630a is an older generation card which does not support Enhanced video and would definitely be a stepback game-wise.
With the first one you can expand your RAM to 8 gbs which the number 2 pc does not appear to offer.This is good.The processor is slightly faster on the first one too; 2.8 vs 2.7 gghtz
You would need to have an OS though that would help with downloads and stuff.You can always recycle your old XP or get a free Linux-type system if you don't feel like buying Windows 7.
For these reasons my choice would be number 1.
Cheers
