I am not a tech savvy person - and my son needs a new gaming desktop that can run Monster Hunter Wilds. Could you please help me figure out if either of these two options will work? Option 1 is significantly cheaper, so I’m holding my fingers crossed for that one.

either one meets or exceeds the requirements you posted for the game.
note that if you’re able to shop in person at microcenter, many more options are available, including their own brand of prebuilts (powerspec) and custom-builds assembled in-store.
I am totally able to shop in person, they are about a 45-min drive from me. Thank you!
