Hi I'm going to be building a pc soon and I need to know which one will perform better, i have 2 systems in about the equal price range which is about 650 dollars before mail-in rebates. I'd like to have it for general use, gaming and recording/editing videos, and if I can fit in maybe even livestreaming to twitch. I'm getting windows from g2a and i already have mouse and keyboard and a monitor.
