My friend needs a new Gaming PC at a budget of SGD $1100.00, so we did a little planning and drew up a few plans and it came down to these two.

 

Please help decide:

 

AMD Build

 

Case : Cooler Master N200 - (windowed with Blue Fans) - SGD $65.00

APU : AMD Quad-Core A10-Series APU A10-5800K with Radeon HD 7660D - SGD $187.00

MoBo : Asrock FM2A88M Extreme4+ (FM2+)  - SGD $174.00

Ram : G.Skill RipjawsX 2133MHz 8GB(2x4GB) 9-11-9-28 + Fan - SGD $141.00

Storage : WD Blue 1TB SATA 6GB/s, 32MB Cache, 7200RPM = SGD $72.00

GPU : MSI R9-270 Gaming 2GB - SGD $282.00

PSU : Seasonic 620W S12-II / 5yrs - SGD $105.00

 

Total : SGD $1026.00 (the shopowner says he'll build it for us for SGD $1000.00)

 

Intel Build

 

Case :  Cooler Master N200 - (windowed with Blue Fans) - SGD $65.00

CPU : Intel i5 4590 - SGD $265.00

MoBo : Asrock Z87M-Extreme4 - SGD $197.00

Ram : Kingston HyperX Genesis - 8GB Kit* (2x4GB) - DDR3 1600MHz CL9 DIMM - SGD $122.00

Storage : WD Blue 1TB SATA 6GB/s, 32MB Cache, 7200RPM = SGD $72.00

GPU : MSI R9-270 Gaming 2GB - SGD $282.00

PSU : Seasonic 620W S12-II / 5yrs - SGD $105.00

 

Total : SGD $1108.00 (The shopowner will do it for SGD $1100.00)

 

as for the CPU Cooler I have a spare Hyper 212X in my spare stuff I was thinking of giving it to him as a gift.

please vote and explain why you chose the build if you can thank you

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

The Intel build, the AMD build is horribly unbalanced, no offence.

 

EDIT: I just realized you live in Singapore, sorry for being rude in my OP. But I would still go with the Intel build.
