DELL - Comparison of two systems. Why the difference in price? Also, SSD...?

Why is there €800 (approx) difference between these systems? Is it mostly in the graphics card? Cheaper one has more RAM and a faster processor, I think.

Also, I'm only just learning about SSD drives. Can I choose these in a DELL spec. If so, what would you recommend? I need three drives, one C: drive and two that are used for storing image files.

Thanks, as always!

Don't have the time to have a good look through both systems but at a glance;
2gb GFX cards in the T3500
1TB drive in the T3500
3 years warranty instead of 1 on the T3500

I would also think there is more expandability in the T3500 for additional CPU, Memory and HDDs.

The cheeper one has a significantly more powerful processor 36% more powerful, and it has more ram.

The more expensive one has a bigger hard drive, the graphics card is 2.65 times as powerful as the other one and it has a 3 year warranty.

CPU on the cheaper one is better, the more expensive one has an older revision. GPU on the cheaper one is worse, the V7900 is worth about €250 more alone. More expensive one has 3 year warranty vs 1 year. Hard drive space and RAM differ as well, but the actual performance difference is tiny from that.

But the main reason is that Dell wants to make a lot more profit on the more expensive one
