I love Both Builds but I am worried with a M itx It will be hard to upgrade in the future(not that I'll need to for awhile)

But I love AMD I have stood by them for as long as I can remember.

I have always had issues with Intel and its sockets so I worry about the ability to upgrade.

For this being my 2nd personal pc build I want it to last and be able to take recording and gaming at the same time. (as well as 3d modeling and

Note I will be moving this pc around a bit (the purpose of being somewhat small for a desktop)

Graphic editing, cry engine ect.ect...)

I'd love some opinions at the moment.

If you have and Ideas for me let me know. Thanks a bunch :)

 

Attached is a pic of the 2 cases (Desplay purposes only, I'm not buying prebuilt.)

I'd go for the first one, 4970k >> then 9370 imo, you can always go for a ATX case + mobo for the intel if you wanted, unless money is an issue, but yeah m-itx for moving around is easier

Either you're master race or you're not.

you will be cutting it close in terms of power draw with the amd system, fx9370 pulls alot of power.

The Intel rig any day if you're asking a sensible person. So worth it.

To all I understand the 9370 Draws alot of power. So. I could always pick a different processor.

AMD FX-8370 4.00 GHz Eight-Core (4.3 GHz Turbo) AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology <-------- My other option
