Seeing as you dont want to build you should buy one from some1 like ibuypower who does custom jobs and for god sake wait 5 days for d11 cards. They are a meaningful upgrade and are in your pricepoint ( double the performance for the same money + lower power consumption and a lot of next gen tech ).

About those 2 listed systems... well you can pretty much outperform them for under 1 grand... idk but if you ask me that sorta make you a tool, specially when you can learn to piece the parts together in like 2 hours.

Actually you dont have to know a thing. I am sure people here are willing to do the part shopping for you and coach you through the entire thing, there is very little that can go wrong ( the entire process is practically idiotproof ). Anyways hope you decide to spare a few hours and do yourself the favor of actually getting something for your money, and if you need some1 to do part shopping for yourself you can post here with your desired budget and ill glady pick the best available parts out in the market for you + teach how to build step by step ( not that there is much explaining or anything to learn really ).

Anyways just so you have an idea of the performance of the system you are buying, it cant handle 1900x1080 res at all and will have a really hard time playing most games at mid settings and as soon as the next gen of games comes out your 2k system will be collecting dust. Here is another way to look at it, you could be playing crysis ( game sucks but looks pretty good, this is a performance reference only ) on a 24" inch mon with max settings/res at over 40 fps or you could try the same res but with low settings on the optional system and get 10 fps at which point you wont be doing much gaming at all, oh wait there is a punch line to that, you get to pay more on your electrical bill for the lousier system !

actually is a low risk card, this card is pretty much 5th gen for ati hence they are lunching like 6 models in a very short amount of time. there is quite a bit of history behind this lunch but ill spare you the sleep pill.
