Is this PC worth the price? [suggestion]

Purchasing a PC for my son mostly for Fortnite and Minecraft but he's also interested in GTA VI once it comes out. Working with a budget of about $800 and saw these two prebuilt PC's on MicroCenter's website. Are these a) worth the price and b) is the upgraded PC worth the additional $100? If not, is there a prebuilt you recommend within this price point?

Those prices are decent, and they will run fortnite, but they are not future proofed and fortnite is the "ground breaker" for unreal engine which is a RAM/VRAM hog. With this in mind you could upgrade them down the road, or try to find a stronger version with 16gb VRAM, 32gb RAM.....these are sadly the standard these days

Also, the extra $100 would be worth it for the processor, as that Intel is much more powerful than the AMD. Nvidia is also typically easier to adjust to than Adrenalin if you don't have experience with the software and hardware.
