They sound like the same thing.
Go for the 1st option.:o -
Yeah, but i5 is too expensive... and there's a low difference between i5 and i3.Personally i'd go i5 and try to swap the cards out. The main difference is getting a lower end graphics card for a better CPU. But it also depends on what you're editing and such. -
Yeah, I'll try to do that. But what should I buy if can't I swap the card?
If you can't.. just take the first one.
Maybe in the future you will buy a new video card but the one that you got with that deal is already a good one for gaming/video editing so dont worry about it.
And for sure, there is a difference between i3 and i5. 4mb cache with i3 and 8mb cache with i5, with no doubt I would go with i5 if I was you. -
Yeah, I know... I have to ask my parents first. 810 Euro isn't cheap xDIf you can't.. just take the first one.

Beat me to it I was about to post about the cache. The difference between the two graphic cards isn't too big of a jump, where as rendering will use the entire CPU. I'm almost positive that you will see a higher render turn around time from having the i5 rather than the i3 with the better video card.

My opinion is that 737 Euro is more cheaper and the price is worth.
And the second option isn't bad at all. It still being a very good comp. I think.
personally, i you have to spend 737 Euro for an i3 with 4mb cache, I would say to go get the i5 at 810 Euro. This is not a big difference between the prices of those 2 pc and if you think about "how long my pc will last?" with the i5 youll be happy.
You said you do some video editing, you WILL see a MAJOR difference between 4mb cache and 8mb cache.
As Hpx said, editing video use CPU. Better CPU mean, faster!
810 - 737 = 73$ difference.. I think you can afford it. Its not like you would have to pay 200$ more for an i5. -

Yeah you're right there, they're both pretty decent computers. It's just if you're willing to shell out a few more euro for the performance boost to me its worth it but again its personal opinion. -

Wrong, wrong and hmm, wrong.
Ghz = More fps, stability.
Ram = Faster loading time.
Lower ping = Your ISP (internet service provider) and it also depends where you are located depending on the server.
better upload/download.. = Your ISP again.. that has nothing to do with RAM. -
Basicaly I want more stability and FPS, cuz my FPS with my old comp was like 15-30 in 8v8.Wrong, wrong and hmm, wrong.

If you're referring to Crossfire, both of these computers will be able to run it at max settings very smooth. Crossfire isn't a bench mark game :P -

If you talk about Crossfire, this game use CPU. You would get the ATi Sapphire 5950 with a cheap single core, you would still get bad fps (around 60-80)
If you get an i5 (which is a pretty decent CPU) and with the video card that comes with, youll be able to play 8v8 without any problem (around 160+)
If you plan to play other games like, bad Company 2, medal of honor etc.. now you have to get a really good card if you want to play them in High-Quality.
To answer your question; Stability + FPS = i5.
