I need help choosing a computer!

Hey so I was looking at computers and I found these two that I thought were okay... But I needed help since I'm kind of stuck in picking due to a few small details.
I was hoping some basil night owl techies could help me out since I'm clueless when it comes to computers ~_~

Computer 1 -
Processor Type: Intel Core i5-650 Processor
Processor Speed: 3.2GHz
Processor Cores: 2
RAM: 6GB DDR3
Hard Drive Capacity: 1 TB (7200 rpms)
Optical Drives: SuperMulti DVD Burner With LightScribe
Graphics: Intel H57 PCH Chipset
Pre-loaded Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit)

No dedicated video memory.

Computer 2 -
Processor Type: Intel Core i7 870
Processor Speed: 2.93 GHz
Processor Cores: 4
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
Hard Drive Capacity: 500 GB (can't find rpms =( )
Optical Drives: 16X DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti Drive
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT320
Pre-loaded Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium

The main problems I'm having are...
1-Comp1's "Intel H57 PCH Chipset: vs. Comp2's "NVIDIA GeForce GT320"
2-Comp 2's pre-loaded operating system is shown as "win 7 home premium" but they dont specify if its 32, or 64 bit

So basically which would be better, (for maple / vindictus, since I'm sure either would be fine for everything else I plan to do) ... possible 32bit + nvidia Geforce or 64 bit "intel h57 pch chipset"

The price difference is so low, go for #2. Better processor and graphics card, and you really don't need that much ram.

Chances are, the second computer has a 64-bit version of Win7. Both of them can play MS just fine, but Vindictus will perform better on the second computer.

How much are they? And where are you from (US, Canada, UK, Australia, etc)?
