Second one is a clear league ahead of the first, not just because of the 2080 TI card, but NVMe SSDs, etc.

I think it will help if you say what you want to do. If you want to play Cyberpunk on max settings, 14.4, neither of those is going to do it.
That said, both of those look great to me, and both better than my own machine (Ryzen 5 6 core @3.6 , 16 Gig synchronous dram, MSI Radeon RX 580 DirectX 12 RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC 8GB, but then again I only play COD, Halo, Starcraft II, blah blah blah
Here is my real question: why don't you want to build it yourself? You don't have the time, or what?
Yeah 2 kids and a full work schedule. I basically have 1-2 hours of free time in the evenings to fill with my hobbies.. none of which include building a PC, loading windows, troubleshooting potential hardware issues etc. Just don't wanna go down that rabbit hole, ya dig?
I wanna play games. They don't have to run ultra high 4k or nothing like that. But i wanna be confident it'll serve me well for some years. I'll play Arma3 and xcom2 and other first person shooter type stuff.
yeah, PC2, but the phantek cases are top notch. been using them to build everything, plus 24gb of ram is fucking weird. You could be looking at dram/timing mismatches.
I'm sure everyone has already told you, but allow me to pile on one more: If a chimp like me can build a working PC with the gayest fancy RGB lighting and whatnot, you can cordon yourself off in a room for 90 minutes and build a box the way you want it easily.
If you've narrowed it down to the 2 descriptions in your OP, PC2 is in a far better class than PC1. If the games you play have the same graphics load as the ones I play, PC2 will serve you for years.
My online enemy Lemon is pretty handy with PC hardware and you might run your builds by him and ask him what he thinks before you pull the trigger on anything.

I think it is a typo.
Or i stop being a cheap bitch and buy this... Asking ca$2400 / us$1850

both are pretty decent. I'd go with pc2
All good except you want a terabyte of storage minimum. You can drive the cost down by putting windows on your SSD and getting a sata HD for your games and movies and whatnot, but it might be easier to just pay for a larger SSD that can hold windows and all your games. I say get that one but up the SSD to 1T
i didn't
don't care to but thanks anyway.
I can always add a traditional drive, they're cheap as shit.
Yeah this PC may be the way to go...
