I'd take system one, what res are you playing at though? As you could buy a new system for 850

If for example it's only 1080p a 1080 card is overkill. In this case I'd spec a new one up from here
 
thanks mark, yes atm i'm gaming at 1080 but as long as im getting value for money with the system i will be happy, may look at 1440 monitor once i recover from spending on the pc.
 
I wouldn't buy a PC off of Facebook marketplace in a million years - scammers are absolutely rife and even if you find someone actually selling something honestly, there's absolutely no warranty in the event of something going fzzzzt-Bang! Five minutes after you plug it in.

If you're buying second hand to save cash, then eBay/PayPal gives you some level of aftersales protection, or the Members Market here at least encourages supporting the buyer in a warranty claim.

Caveat Emptor.
