Hello Forsaken_Resident263, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

The first one is priced too high for its specs. The second one looks about right, but know that any future upgrades are going to be difficult on that HP
My pre-built was $999 I think from best buy and has better specs than the first one you listed.
I’d check around different places and just see what’s out there.
While I do agree that the first one is overpriced, it all comes down to what games you want to run.
Edit: I have a similar set up to the first one and I can tell you that i5 processor bottlenecks with a 2060 so I would go with the second one, just know that upgrades will be hard in the future.
I have bought very similar Pre-built PC just like the one on first image two years ago for even higher price. The only missing information is amount of Ram, which I have 32 GB. I can run everything on this one on ultra graphic settings with decent FPS.
The HP might be priced fairly for its specs, but the RX 5500 isn’t a very good card. If you want something for around $900, something with a 3050 might be good. These are both acceptable brands:

You could also trying looking at Newegg’s “ABS” brand of prebuilts. I’d avoid the likes of Dell and HP personally.
Wouldn’t purchase either of these much better value for money else where. You can get the best value from building it yourself. But I would look at an actual tech store or maybe a actual pre building site if you don’t wanna fool with building it.
