I love Both Builds but I am worried with a M itx It will be hard to upgrade in the future(not that I'll need to for awhile)

But I love AMD I have stood by them for as long as I can remember.

I have always had issues with Intel and its sockets so I worry about the ability to upgrade.

For this being my 2nd personal pc build I want it to last and be able to take recording and gaming at the same time. (as well as 3d modeling and

Note I will be moving this pc around a bit (the purpose of being somewhat small for a desktop)

Graphic editing, cry engine ect.ect...)

I'd love some opinions at the moment.

If you have and Ideas for me let me know. Thanks a bunch

 

Attached is a pic of the 2 cases (Desplay purposes only, I'm not buying prebuilt.)

[costacis21]

definitely the first one. 4790K >>>>> 9370

^^^

[killerdann12]

I'd go for the first one, 4970k >> then 9370 imo, you can always go for a ATX case + mobo for the intel if you wanted, unless money is an issue, but yeah m-itx for moving around is easier

[Mixzzz]

as much as i love my 8320 you cant be serious to buy 9370..... Go with intel and youll get better performance at any time most likely...

[mansoor_]

you will be cutting it close in terms of power draw with the amd system, fx9370 pulls alot of power. 

[Tedster]

The Intel rig any day if you're asking a sensible person. So worth it.

[Sir8Bit TheGrimLock]

To all I understand the 9370 Draws alot of power. So. I could always pick a different processor.

AMD FX-8370 4.00 GHz Eight-Core (4.3 GHz Turbo) AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology <-------- My other option

[Sir8Bit TheGrimLock]

My Budget is about 1700 (Including shipping) But I AM ORDERING THIS ON BLACK FRIDAY(Or Cyber Monday)

 

Heres another Possable option
