In either case get the second option. The video card is much more important than the CPU. Better to go AMD cpu and a better video card than the intel cpu and a lesser video card.



Long Live SHIO!

You don't really need either. Just pick your parts (plenty of us on here would be happy to help you with that I'm sure) and follow a build guide. There are plenty on the internet and it doesn't take long. Even your first build shouldn't take any more than a couple hours. You'll save yourself a few hundered bucks doing it yourself, and you'll learn something new.

I really can't recommend doing your own build enough. Especially with Newegg sales, the money you save is ridiculous for the small amount of work you have to do.

building a computer is like lego.
our shops in germany build computer for 20€ there should be a similar service.

Isn't there a canadian site where you can create a custom PC? I'm sure someone on the site could then pick the Parts for you to get something decent..

The machine with the FX 8320 isn't bad, but self building at that price could net you a Radeon 7950 rather than the mid-range 7850 at that price.

 

@bruxel,  like permalite said.  I think the fx 8320 machine is the one.  If you want to assemble yourself these are the parts.

I took the parts straight out of the machine with the FX 8320, but with better ram & psu, added wifi, good motherboard. It's worth recommending you choose an ssd over hdd, and 7950 over 7850 if you get a good deal.
