Http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/110080728/low-cost-gaming-tower-reduced-for-quick-sale.html which one is better for gaming, i have been told the second one is good and I can play battlefield 4 on it? Of so on what settings and with what fps? I will make sure to pay once I know the computer is working, as to avoid any traps, thanks i really appreciate it. Also what fps will the second one play minecraft and the wolf among us on? With what settings? Anyone kind enough to answer everything will get a 5 star best answer, thanks.
Which computer should I buy?

I know a little bit about computers but before you read, I just want you to know it is all up to you and I'm not responsible if the **** breaks on you (happened to my ASUS). The specs on the first one looks pretty good. The fact that is has 8 gb of RAM (it is up to 16) tells me it is for gaming. The second one does look decent but the RAM sucks. If you ask me, I don't like 4 gb of ram on my PC. I would rather have an 8 or up. On top of that the memory and the graphic card looks Farley good for the first one. If you want to play battlefield, and this is my opinion, I would get the first. The second one won't play minecraft I should say. I had a 4 gb ram on my laptop and it was glitchy, when I upgraded to a 6 gb, it was really good. The higher the ram, the more it will not lag and more you can play games smoother. I hope I helped out and good luck with your decision.

Well they both arnt very good tbh.
the first one does NOT have a graphics card. It uses integrated graphics (8410D from the APU), which won't play games very well at all.
Also in the first one they put the cpu is a "richmond"… Wtf is a richmond? If they can't even atleast spell check their ads, they are probably scammers pushing low end computers that are overpriced (even more since its "new" meaning they are building and selling them, even tho the site is supposed to be for used goods)
above poster doesn't seem to know a whole lot about computer hardware, as the ram has very little to do with system performance. 99% of the time, even hardcore gamers won't even use 4GB of ram (i RARELY use more then 4, and i do A LOT of stuff on my pc other then gaming, such as video rendering, audio production and editing, 3d modeling, programming, etc).
8GB is nice, but not required. Having 8 just guarantees it would be impossible to use all your ram no matter what you do. Also ram is cheap and easily added/upgraded.
The only benefit to having extra memory is when using integrated graphics. Having more ram, allows your integrated graphics to use more, and thus slightly increasing performance. Also running in dual channel helps integrated graphics performance aswell. (the extra memory bandwidth does slightly increase overall system performance also)
The 2nd one is Way better, as it has an amd 5850 graphics card. Its older, but it was a high end card. By todays standards its a lower mid range graphics card, but can easily play all games on like med settings at 1920x1080 fairly easily.
it does seem a little on the pricy side for being a used computer though.
