Making my final decision

[Kcoker25]

I intend to play Dota 2, Modern warfare 2, Battle field 4, Counter strike and a few other games. I need to decide which build I should go with. I do not plan on overclocking and i heard intel is better if you are not over clocking. So these are my final 2 builds and I need to know which one I should go with before I purchase the parts. I need this computer for 2 years and than I am going to buy a gaming laptop for college. But for right now I need a desktop that can handle these games with at least medium settings. I do not plan on doing any upgrades in the future for these builds besides possibly adding an ssd when they become cheaper. So again to make it clear , No overclocking, At least medium settings with 60 fps on most games available today, and am not going to upgrade any parts of this computer. Hope you guys can help me out.

 

P.S. I dont like fanboys so if you are a fan of amd or intel please dont anwser i dont need a biased review.

Get the intel one, and swap the 4130 for the 4150 at least.

Get a good IPS monitor, this is a good one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPZJP7C/?tag=pcpapi-20

You can save some money by not getting a DVD writer, i'm sure you are going to use it like 5 times in your lifetime.

Lastly I recommend Windows 8.1 over 7, specially the home version. You can ditch the modern UI and have a faster, better OS

For only $40 more I'd say it'd be worth getting the 1st build.

I would go with the i3 build.

I first want to start off w/ im not a fanboy.....So If you go with the AMD build you will be getting more core's, but a slightly lower clock speed and because you save money on the AMD one I would have to say the AMD build. B)

[Fanboys plz dont rage at this comment!]
