Mini PC vs Tower

So I'm considering getting a PC. Now I only have a laptop and I need more room for gaming, college work, and some research I do. I'm between this and getting a traditional tower. Which is better? They seem similar to me plus this would save me room, or am I missing something?

Any advice is helpful!!
