amd build vs intel build

[LostTrigger]

Ok guys, last time i'll ask you about my build lol. I have an amd and an intel build. I will be using either of them for both gaming and editing (mostly for gaming right now, im not going to be doing much editing my freshman year). I also dont know what programs i'll use for editing/rendering but i will be doing video editing right away. i also dont have a preference for games.

I dont think these two builds can get any better without spending more money so the last thing to do is to see which build people think is better.

i dont really care about the case/monitor. also what ram does the 8350 support?

[Askew]

EDIT, you added a monitor to the intel build.

EDIT 2, you changed the whole intel build, I'm leaving the thread.

[Sonefiler]

The intel build is stronger, but it doesnt have a monitor

8350 supports pretty much any DDR3, but it'll run up to 1600 or 1866 I believe.

 

Get the AMD, switch out the mobo for a 970, the PSU for an EVGA 500B, and get a 270/X

 

Idk about you but I prefer my PC in a case and with a monitor

[LostTrigger]

The intel build is stronger overall.

 

8350 supports DDR3.

up to what speeds i meant

when i said idc about those i meant i wouldnt your opinion on everything but those two things lol

 

also im staying with nvidia because cuda is better for editing programs

8350 supports DDR3.

they both have monitors

 

are you sure the 4570 is stronger?

sorry wrong intel build lol - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ThatGuy2u2/saved/VwNxFT

Id go with the AMD build, but why the 4570 for the Intel build? The FX-9370 is pretty cheap now

what am i going to do with an fx 9370 lol

 

and i choose the 4570 to cut done on costs

What programs are you using exactly? They need to have proper CUDA support in order for it to make sense, and in some of them OpenCL is well implemented, meaning the AMD choice would be viable, if not faster.

For the same cost you can get the Asrock H97 Pro4 with the i5-4590. Newer and a touch better.

Well first things first, you got a locked CPU and a Z97 board which is not smart.

 

You spent way too much on the motherboard for the AMD build, by going AMD you would only save $15 as it would be at the cost of getting a vastly inferior GPU. The 770 will trounce a 660 in every respect aside from power usage. The PSU on the Intel build is also overkill unless you're planning on SLI in the future, in addition the RAM in the Intel build is unnecessary, you don't need 2133Mhz RAM and frankly getting RAM that fast in any situation outside of extreme overclocking or APU use is a huge waste.

 

When making builds you should allocate a specific amount of your budget for things like keyboards/mice/monitors/ speakers or any other random things you might need and then take the remainder of your budget and build a PC with it. Throwing a monitor in one build and not in the other doesn't make much sense because you still need things like monitors and a case if you don't have them.

 

Alternate Intel Build(no overclocking, no case, no monitor)

Alternate Intel Build(Overclocking, no case, no monitor)

Alternate AMD build(no case, monitor)

The first build is similar specs wise to your build but it's less expensive. The second Intel build features the same board you originally chose but with an unlocked CPU and a beefy aftermarket cooler for overclocking. The AMD Build is better than the one you posted and cheaper than both of the intel builds by a decent bit. All would serve you well and it's just up to you to decide what you want to do. I purposefully left out a case and monitor as I think things like that should be budgeted separately and I don't know your preference on cases. All of these builds though feature a GTX 770, and the same amount of RAM and the same size HDD.

If you're gonna get a locked i5 for video editing might as well spend a bit more and get the Xeon E3 1230V3

your looking at thw wrong intel build, i changed link.

 

and could you recommend a mobo for the 8350? and your wrong lol. your amd build is only cheaper because you didnt include the case/monitor. without both mines comes below 650

I was looking at the wrong link because you provided the wrong link and I did not see the edit/additional posts until the thread refreshed when I posted my reply. That being said my builds wouldn't change, you can go for those and add more budget for a case/monitor or you can go with a different suggestion.
