Answer
a blu ray what? if it is just a blu ray disc player it won't get you to the internet.
look at the inputs and outputs on each device you want before you spend any money. blu ray is just one way of connecting devices.
you will usually want a device that has a browser like your computer to surf the internet.
if you buy a smart tv get one with a qwerty keyboard for easier surfing than with a tv style remote.
if you buy a regular monitor make sure it has inputs for your computer.
if you are buying a computer make sure it has a video output for a tv or external monitor.
regardless of whether you buy an internet-ready smart tv, you need connectivity to the internet such as a cellular or fios or cable company device.
there are cellular usb adapters from your cellphone company that will allow your laptop to be more portable if you travel beyond the reach of friendly wi-fi.
some people like to use their cellular phones to browse the internet or visit it with apps.

Which ones best?


Answer
i would definitely say that the 2nd one is better.

my basis for that is the video card, the gtx 560 ti is significantly faster than the gtx 460, here are links to both cards benchmark performance:

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=WinFast+GTX+460

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+560+Ti

since the second one also has an i7-2600 and 8gb RAM, then it is a very good build and based on my experience, if a computer is good for gaming then it is basically good for everything else.

your gtx 560 ti could practically play all games at max settings except BF3 bec i was told that it takes a gtx 570 to max out BF3 at 1080p resolution.

BTW : just make sure that your power supply is at least 600w-650w, bec the requirement of the gtx 560 ti is 500w. goodluck :D
