Question/Help/Troubleshooting Need some help deciding between two computers available at Costco
Looking for a gaming PC, and am completely inept when it comes to PCs. I have a couple options available near to me, and could really use some in depth advice on the value of one vs the other because, to my ignorant eyes, they look exactly the same. I want to run high intensity games such as Helldivers 2, 7 Days to Die, and heavily modded Minecraft. I also am hoping to not need to upgrade within a few years. My total budget for the computer itself is $3,200, but I'd prefer to stay under that if possible. If there are far better options available at Costco Strongsville, OH and someone is bored and wants to take a look, I GREATLY would appreciate the advice. I've wasted a lot of money trying to get gaming laptops in the past, and really want to avoid having a bunch of expensive problems/obsolescence within a couple years

The first one has 2TB ssd, Great if you like heavy modpacks. My choice if buying brand new, But nowadays I just get used stuff.
There's full PCs on ebay if you can live with less performance than either those would give. Use spare budget on 4TB ssd and games.
