Intel HD Graphics - Comlpete and utter crap. Can probably buy a better graphics card for 40$ at your local walmart.
Security software trial - Probably Norton, 10/10 uninstall
HP USB Keyboard and USB Optical Mouse - Thouse 10$ keyboard/mouse they send in the box, always lasts like 6months or so.
SuperMulti DVD Burner - Use WMP, burns faster with higher quality 10/10 do not use.
7-in-1 Media Card Reader - Average desktop has this, most desktop's have had this since ~2007. Still comes handy if you're a phone/camera guy.
Windows 8.1 64 - Isnt this free? If its not it should be.
1TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive - Retails around 50$ new, around 15$ used.
4GB DDR3L-1600MHz SODIMM[1 DIMM] - Assuming Kingston, which is what most HP comps use, around 60$.
Intel Bay Trail-D Pentium J2900 processor quad-core [2.41GHz, 2MB Shared Cache] - Retails around 250$. Excellent processor.
HP WLAN 802.11 b/g/n Mcard (1x1) - Around 20$, cheap and overused.

TLDR; get another 4gb ram stick, a new graphics card, and use wired internet, and youll be fine.

No. It won't.

And the 2nd build is posted for $579 looks EXACTLY the same except it has 8GB of RAM. They added $40 worth of more RAM in it, and are charging you $130 extra. You tell me if it's worth it.

Then what you recommend mate?

My recommendation is to wait and save more money....if you want to play BF with good settings you'll need a rig that costs more than $450. Optional recommendation: Build your own....don't buy a pre-built computer...you'll pay more than it's worth.

Ok..well lets get the basics out of the way to help us help you....

You keep saying $ so I'm guessing you mean US dollars...are you in the US?

Are you willing to build or want pre-built?

$600 can buy a somewhat good gaming computer if it's built...pre-built no way....

Do you have peripherals from your current computer? (ie: Keyboard, mouse, monitor) That can increase your computer potential if the $600 budget is all components with no peripherals.

Focus on the graphics card, you can get cheap prebuilt but custom computers from amazon and such. Something like a 760 would be idle, but apparently the 900 series is coming out... lol
