Help me decide ;(

[dakimlin]

So i plan on upgrading my current pc and my problem is this I got 2 options in my mind but i cant decide which 1 to go for .

I would play on 1336x768(mainly gaming pc only other thing i do on it is some programming)and i dont ahve any plans on getting new montior so far.

My curent pc has:

Gpu:Radeon 7770

Cpu:Athlon x4 750k

Cpu cooler:Scythe katana 4

Mobo:AsRock FM2A85X Extreme4

Psu:Zalman ZM500-GS

Ram: 3 sticks of 2g each at 1333 (2 same ones and 1 diferent no clue from who they are old )

 

Now my priority is to upgrade cpu first since i play mmos and multiplayers mostly and they are mostly cpu bound and my cpu cant really keep up with guild wars 2 and I honestly think 7770 is good enough to play mmos on medium settings at this resolution.

 

So my first idea was to get(in Croatia and this would leave me approximately18$):

Case:CM HAF 912 Plus

CPU:FX 8350(would jsut take my old cooler or Hyper 212 evo if i dont need new psu))

Psu:Corsair 650W Rm series 80+ gold(not usre if i need new psu for this build if i dont pls say so then i am going with this build 100%) 

Mobo:AsRock 970 Extreme4

Ram:2 sticks of ddr3 4g Kingmax 

 

 

Then i looked around a bit more and found this(this is a bit over the budget):

Case:same as above

Cpu:I5 4670k(since it has less power consumption i dont think i need new psu i would upgrade psu with this build later on with new grapcihs card)

Mobo:AsRock Z97 Extreme 3 or 4 both avilable(or fell free to recomend cheaper 1 that is decent you can see what i have avilable here http://www.adm.hr/index.php?cPath=258_217_214_391&osCsid=07a8067f37eeb20076755bb51d1a15e9 )

Cooler:Hyper 212 evo

Ram:same as above

 

Also if for first build new psu isnt nesecary i would still upgrade it later on when i get new gpu.

 

Also sorry for all the spelling mistakes and poor formating .

 

Edit:no optical drive i didnt use that thing even once in close to 2 years now i think

if you plan on upgrading your PU i would get the i5 build. i had to deside between the fx 3250 and i5 4690k and onw i am sooo glad i got the i5 even when when i run games like crysis 3 with 78800 my CPU is still under 100% and gpu is pined at 99% usage and my CPU is now at 4.1 Ghz still need to get Cooler so not that big overclock.

Do not get a 8350, awful price/performance for a gaming rig. Only a 4-5 games atm take advantage of more than 4 cores, a 8350 is pretty much a FX 4300 for the price of two.

Ok i decided to go with the Amd since I am in college and could really use the extra money that i will save comapred to I5 but if i dont need 650w psu i was thinking about getting Corsair 550w CS550M which will save me around 50$ to

do you live neer a microcenter ? i got a 4690k + Gigabyte GA-z97x-sli for $300 with tax ? there are cheaper motherboards 

 

whent to check now the cheapes combo you can get is $224 if you buy a i5-4690k and a motherboard you get lots of discouunt and then you get motherboard for $9 http://www.microcenter.com/product/414767/H87M-Plus-CSM_Socket_LGA_1150_mATX_Intel_Motherboard

if you wanted to overclock you would just need to get a z97 MB or a Z87 buut make sure the i5-4690k will work on the bios without update.

I can get I5 if i take Z97 aniverasry and without changing the psu but will it all fit into the case ?

Cant figoure out how to edit the post on a phone but as far as i know there is no microcenter in Croatia.
