Are these pre-built rigs? If so, how much are they?

Would you consider building your own?

And if not, then the second system would be my choice as it has the better graphics card. And with the motherboard choices, at this point, most of the P55 motherboards perform similarly to each other. The only main difference is features. I would go for the ASUS. In my opinion, it's better supported and usually the better overclocker.

If you can switch out the HD 5850 in the first rig for a an HD 5870, then go for that.
 
im going to be building this myself

ok then ill maybe save up a bit more and go witht he first build with the 5870 gpu

also i like the msi features
