Which used PC is the better offer?

[Frisco]

I can get either of these for around $300. Both have Windows 7--good thing. I am looking for a fast Windows desktop for high end Office work that also supports multiple displays and Aero. I don't game.

1) http://newjersey.craigslist.org/sys/4881670665.html
It Has an Amd 3.2 ghz Quad Core Processor
A Nvidia dedicated graphics card
750gb hard drive!!! Lots of space
Windows 7 64bit ultimate
4 Gigs Ram
From the screenshot it looks like it has a AMD phenom ii x4 965

2) http://newjersey.craigslist.org/sys/4881830411.html
Windows 7, 64 bit fresh install
Amd FX quad core 4100 3.60 GHz (can be over clocked)
8 GB Ram DDR3 (upgrade to 16 gb.)
Nvidia 1Gb graphics card
Gigabyte Motherboard
Lg dvd Re- writeable
320 GB hard drive

I talked them both down to around $300. Which processor is better--both have a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate. One has a lot of memory. The other has a huge hard drive--memory is more important to me.

From what I researched it look like the AMD phenom ii x4 965 is a better CPU than the Amd FX quad core 4100 3.60 GHz?

Thanks for any input!

Of the two, I'd go with the second. 8GB of RAM is decent, while the first one shows only 2GB in the screenshot of system properties -- are you sure it's 4GB?

Either way, I'd still go with that one. 320GB is enough space, especially since you'll be putting an SSD in either, right?

I'd have to say with the second PC. You can easily upgrade the HD if needed, 1TB HDs can be found for $50 - $60 now.
