I am not a tech savvy person - and my son needs a new gaming desktop that can run Monster Hunter Wilds. Could you please help me figure out if either of these two options will work? Option 1 is significantly cheaper, so I’m holding my fingers crossed for that one.
Thank you all in advance!

Option 2.
Buying less expensive things can be more expensive in the long run. With option 1 you’re already behind the curve and will be needing upgrades sooner than option 2.
I would agree but at least from those links, option 2 is almost 2x the price. Sadly wilds will run like shit no matter the machine you got, option 1 would be better value even in the long run (and I hate Intel)
