"Compare the pair, same age, same income, same super contribution. One uses an Industry Super fund, the other does not and there is a lifetime of difference."

 

What is the rig being used for? 

 

And avoid that EVGA PSU, no 650W PSU should need multiple 12V rails. BTW the 770 is last gen, look to pick up a 970.

This is a much cheaper build, and should offer gaming performance in between the two you suggested @Lazlex
