Now, lets start off with my requirements. I will be streaming WoW and ESO on ultra and 1080p and downscaling the quality to 720p.

I want as much FPS as possible (Obviously).

I have made 2 different build and now its time to decide which build to go with.

AMD IS FOR A FACT BETTER FOR HANDLING STREAMING!

Please fan boys go else where if you own a Intel and are super intel pro please take a look at PRIVATE comparisons between the two different CPUs and you will find on these reviews AMD comes on top while STREAMING. Intel obviously wins when not streaming so please do not tell me overwise without PRIVATE reviews with benchmarks.

Also with the new next gen consoles the newer games WILL be more optimized for the AMD products due to a bigger market.

Ok now we have that shiz done, lets take a look at the two different builds.

Now, please let me know whether or not to switch to the AMD 8350 instead however i thought for a newer generation and better CPU the extra few £s would be worth it.
Please let me know your opinions and also see below for the videos of the benchmarks etc.
 
 
 
Thanks for your opinions in advance :)

first if you are steaming go with amd

But what will you be using this pc? What is your budget?

I believe this is all covered in my block of text.

My budget is £850 on the build and £1150 with Monitors etc.

Im using it for streaming 1080p with smooth FPS on WoW and and ESO.

Personally, I'd pick the first one just because I love AMD or just go with the 8350, because it's price/performance is very unbeatable, if you are gonna be choosing the first option, get a better cooler... :D

 

Just pick whatever you want. They're both viable options.

Intel because you play WoW since it is single threaded as hell.

if is single tread performance you it will be better!

If you stop playing such low games and you start with the overkill ones you will have no problem atall.

The only thing i will change is the gpu! You can buy a matrix 280x is better than the 770

I put in that cooler as it matches my one on the other build. I will be buying a £50 cooler when i get the build.

Build one, but with an 8350 and a better cooler

or build two with a better motherboard (i.e. G45 GAMING)

While WoW is single threaded, it's so piss easy to run I doubt you'd care about the difference between 70 FPS and 90 FPS.

Thanks mate. Yeah i do not think i would be bothered about the 20 fps difference with over 60fps due to the monitor being 60hz

Are you sure the 280x is better?
