I´d say both of them are good enough for Dolphin (actually overkill), but the MSI one is more future-proof (as the CPU it has is from 7th and latest generation instead of 6th).
Also, the MSI one has more storage installed (1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD instead of just 512 GB SSD) and a newer and stronger GPU.

The 6700T is the 'lower power' version too, so the 7700 should be quite a bit faster...
If money is not the problem the go the with the MSI from newegg... it is waaay better for anything you want to throw at it...

Only thing holding me back is that I've seen a crapload of people say that their MSI trident has stopped turning on after a few months of use due to a faulty motherboard.
This is a huge concern for me, and I don't wanna have to get the thing repaired or whatever...
tbf I have heard stories of quality control issues on MSI prebuilts. Their system components are solid, but I guess their laptops and desktops aren't?
If your that worried about the MSI prebuilt then

Similar hardware to the MSI, but keep in mind that it is going to be a bit louder then a bigger setup under load with higher temps and the amount of upgradeability is compromised in these Mini PC prebuilts.
