Hi all,
I'm wanting to buy a pre-built gaming PC and have come down to these two. But I'm not sure on the specs.

I think I should go for the I9 build purely because it's a newer model, but I dont know enough about the graphics cards and motherboards etc to know if the other one is better or if either of them would work better as a whole system.

Could someone please weigh in with some advise. What would you choose?

Thanks in advance.

What price does each come to?

What's your budget?

What country and currency are you shopping in?

It's possible there are alternatives models, or custom built PCs that would offer better value - worth exploring those options.

Also, what monitor are you gaming on? Both would be overkill for 1080p 60hz

Each PC comes out around $2600-$2800 NZD. Which is about my budget.
I will be buying a new monitor as well. I know to make sure that its above 75Hz and below 1mn. What else should i set as a prerequisite?

Not much between these two, that I can see. Depends partly on whether you're getting a G-sync (option 2) or Freesync (option 1) compatible monitor, and whether you're going to be overclocking option 2. What are the specs on the RAM for option 1? Do these come with a secondary SSD to the NVMEs.

Is building it yourself an option?
