I would personally hit up Newegg and see if you can build a custom PC for you or order the parts and get someone to put it together for you.

 

If neither of those are options then i would got with the HP and pay the little bit extra for the higher end Wireless card....but if you're not planning on using wireless connections then don't

anytime major reason for HP is the dedicated GPU. I've heard too many horror stories with people and integrated GPU's
