New Build Idea's

[Actuosity]

Hey Guys I have two different build idea's and Idd like to get your opinion on both of them. budget is around 4000$, I am building in Canada. (1000$ of that is for watercooling / modding misc)

 

First: AMD, White / Black colour scheme. with solid acrylic water tubing

 

Two Asus R9 290's (880$)

FX 9370 (250$)

EVGA Supernove 1300G2 80Plus gold (215$)

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard (280$)

Corsair 760T (200$)

AMD R9 2400 game series ddr3 RAM (4x4gb)

Kingston SSD V300 240GB x4 (520$)

Raid Controller (50$)

 

Total before tax : $ 2600

 

Second: Intel, copper and black colour scheme. with copper water tubing

Two Asus R9 290's (880$)

Intel i7 4770K (364$)

ASUS Z97- WS (330$)

Corsair 760T (200$)

Kingston Beast 2133 ddr3 RAM 4x4 GB (250$)

Kingston SSD V300 240GB x2 (260$)

EVGA Supernova 1300G2 80Plus gold (215$)

 

Total before Tax: $ 2500

 

 

 

Which one would you guys go with? also what would you change and why in either of the builds withing going over 2800$ before tax

I would go with Intel

And change that 9370 to 8350 in AMD build

Intel build looks good... do you have monitor(s) and peripheral to go with this build? Why 290CF? Do you plan to power 3 1080P monitor or maybe a single 4K monitor?

[i_build_nanosuits]

pick the intel build or save some money and go with an FX-8350 and overclock it, the 9370 is not worth it you go watercooling so i'm assuming you're an overclocker...even my FX-8320 can be stable at 4.93ghz so i really don't think the premium for FX-9xxx is worth it AT ALL...and the FX will never have the single-thread performance of the core i7 even if overclocked to the bone so if you do any single-thread cpu intensive stuff with your PC (play old-tech online mmo's for example) then you defenetly want an intel CPU, for modern games both machine will feed your dual gpu's.

I'd be drawn to the second one, but without knowing what it's for, it's hard to be certain.

I am going to be running 3 x 1080p monitors (already have them Benq 2450hm) I also plan to quad fire for giggles in the next year or so.

Also I will be investing in a 4K monitor when they become reasonably priced.

 

My computer's purpose will be video editing, coding, and extreme detail high res gamming / flight simulators.

 

The only drawback I have with the Intel build is that I can't afford a raid controller and the other two SSD's right away.

I have a home server for storage of completed works so I only need the storage for my steam library, and projects on the go.
