First of all i dont recommend second hand, but its your money again, lets compare them:

T7250>PENTIUM M 770
Both have the same RAM
The first one has bigger but slower HDD but the second one has faster and smaller HDD
7800GTX>8600GT

Not sure who the Clevo distributor is in your area, but Clevo OEM builds many of the names you'd recognize.

Might be able to get an answer here.

www.killernotebooks.com also uses the Clevo chassis, but their prices might be out of your range. You can email the owner and you might be able to work out a deal though.

If you're still choosing between the first two, I'd suggest the first one. I don't like buying second hand because in case of any need for the warranty, you might have to go through a lot of work explaining that it's a used laptop to Dell.
