System Specs

I think that the less worse option is the second scenario. In the first option you're effectively capping your GPU, basically throwing away money by paying for capacity you're not able to use. Having a beefy CPU with a weak GPU could be meant for photo/video editing and what not (OpenCL acceleration, etc.) but the first option has zero practical uses IMO.
