David both systems have the Intel HD4000 graphics which should be fine for HT use but the I5 is still only a dual core pushing 3.10Ghz in turbo mode so the processing power isnt that great, a higher end I5 would be better imo.
The lower end cpu would be fine if there were dedicated graphics ( Nvidia etc ) the modern cards are all 700 series now and they have enough grunt to be able to get away with a lower end cpu.
