I wouldn't buy a computer off eBay. Any reason why you don't want to build your own?

Your links don't lead to the computer auction pages. I get a "Page Not Responding" message.

Between the two the AMD computer uses newer technology and would be the better choice. The Intel computer is based on older technology and wouldn't be upgrade friendly.

Neither one. Build your own with *quality* parts. If you refuse to build your own, get a Dell.
