Which computer would play WoW better?

So I'm looking to buy a new gaming computer since my laptop shot a while ago. The last computer I had was not a gaming laptop period. It had an on board graphics. I played the game on low settings and had around 15-20fps? On a good day.

I'm kinda wondering how well these computers would play WoW on High or Ultra settings. I would be happy with 40-50 fps. I'm really not looking for the 100fps or high, I think that's pretty pointless for a game like world of warcraft. I may look into other games like Borderlands and maybe neverwinter.

Anyways these are the computers I'm looking into. I will say that yes, I know building my own computer would be better. But I honestly don't know how. I don't have anyone around here that knows how to build one either. And I really don't trust some random computer guy to mess with it. So building it on my own, for now is out of the question. Also I know these are pretty low grade graphics..I know in the future I'll probably have to upgrade eventually.

    The second one has a slightly faster processor but the graphics card on both is a bit lacking.

    On ultra you'd probably expect like 20-30 FPS... Maybe. Add in a better graphics card like a Radeon HD 7770 and you would probably be in the 30-40 range. WoW doesn't need a super powerful graphics card but it does make a difference when you turn on all the visual effects.
