How do I disable seeing all of the media devices on my network within my file system in Windows 8?  I can't seem to find any options for it, but I don't want 8 entries for my sonos stuff

So I'm looking for a desktop that can handle... things not too hard. Like, TF2 on high, or something. I found these two systems, which should I consider?

Cache memory: 6mb
RAM: 8GB
RAM Expandable to: 32GB
Type of RAM: DDR3 SDRAM
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 7570
Video Memory: 1GB DDR5 (dedicated)

or

Processor: Intel 3rd Generation Core i7
Processor Speed 3.4GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz)
Cache Memory: 8MB
RAM: 16GB
Type of RAM: DDR3
Hard Drive Size 1TB
Graphics: NVIDIA GT 630
Video Memory: 2GB (dedicated)

I'm a newb at this, so... can someone help me out?

whats your budget

[Skull Candy]

Around $900 - $1,000.

[Titanium Man]

you can make WAY better systems that those for 1000
are you willing to assemble a computer yourself and save a bunch of money, or do you want to buy a pre-built

Yeah, I don't want to go through assembling a computer and seeing TF2 as the only game downloaded, lol.

their free shipping can take up to a week, but if you pay like an extra few dollars you can decrease to 2 days
their shipping is fine, I love their boxes, havent had a single problem with them yet
