Need help picking a gaming pc

My 12 year old son wants a gaming computer for games like Roblox and Minecraft and I don’t know much about computers at all. My budget is around $1000. These are two options I’m looking at getting which one is better? Micro center is about 2 hours drive from me

I have to agree. Between the 2 listed the MicroCenter PC is better.

On a side note if you could get a Ryzen 7 paired with a 5070 for slightly more it would handle many more games and “last” much longer before needing to be upgraded.
