Build Advice?

[TheFanis]

Hello guys!

 

I'm looking for advices on what build to go with! I made 2 builds and I want someone to tell my all he thinks about them....which is better for money, gaming, performance and If you have any other suggestions to tell me. Finally tell me what you advice me to go with...The difference between them is like 20 Euros so I have no problem with that! 

 

Here are my builds:

AMD BUILD

INTEL BUILD

 

Thanks in advance!

What is your budget? What currency do you use? Where do you live? When do you plan on buying? Do you need an OS, monitor, or peripherals? What will you use the machine for?

[SAV1OUR]

you should add a 212 evo to the intel otherwise you wasted money on a ocing cpu

[AndyCapets]

The AMD one. Remove that worthless SSD and save your money for a better one later IMO.

Is it just me or is this really hard to read on the night theme? Maybe I'm colour blind.

I'd go with the Intel build. Most games don't use more than 4 cores, and the 4670K is more powerful per core, so it should do better.

Just note that a 32GB SSD is not enough for a C: drive. It will fit the OS, but will fill up VERY fast. Go for at least 60GB, 120GB ideally

I was thinking to install windows on SSD and leave other apps on the normal HDD.

Can you make a similar build with an Intel proccessor that I won't OC please?

[Oshino Shinobu]

Here, this is better for the intel build. You may want to stretch to fit a CPU cooler in

Even though you wont OC, the 8320 would be better in this build, and aftermarket coolers never hurt

I do that with mine, but things still get stored on the C: drive whether you want it to or not. I had a 60GB drive and got to the point of only having 5GB free without installing any programs on it.

[TheFanis]

just a i5 4670 

If I take a non OCable cpu then I don't have to buy cooling fan? Can I use the stock one?

Could cut down on the memory, get the cheaper Kingston SSD and spend the savings on a CPU cooler. Or a better GPU if he doesn't mind higher temps and noise

[TheBreaker]

OK, im just going to say what's on everyone's mind.Y U NO OC?! Its free performance and is rreeeaaalllyy easy. And if you're not comfortable with it atm, you might be later on down the road. Who knows? OCing is always a good option, and its there if you want it. No harm will be done.

I'm scared of OCing....Is it really easy as they say? I may harm my system..

I like this build...Will 500w be enough?

[Oshino Shinobu]

For the time being there is no real reason to overclock a 4670K. You will see no difference in gaming performance. You will only really see differences in CPU intensive stuff.

Made this. Best of both worlds. You get the 120GB SSD, good Intel CPU, and a more powerful GPU

Yep, 500 will be enough. You could always go for the 600w if you're really worried, it's only $10 more. You'll be fine with the 500w though. The build with the Nvidia card is the best price/performance option I think.

Is it really better to go with gtx 770 instead of r9770x?

[Butterfish]

Oh god my eyes!
