My opinion, i'd go for the first option, it's got more powerful CPU but im worried about the video card cuz it's not that good for gaming but maybe still playable at low fps especially for the latest games. Generally, it's a good pc and you can run todays latest applications like photoshop or any other softwares.

The first one it's much better

The first is better for me ( you'll try to overclock). Look the two again, perhaps Nvidia 8200 won't be enough powerful for play good on any nowadays game.
P.S. About overclock in this section exists a topic about it

I would go for first one and replace video card with Nvidia.
