Which build is best?

[Jultomten55]

Hi there!

I have made one asus build and one msi and i wonder which is the best one. The thing i am most uncertain about is the graphics card a msi 970 or the sexiest r9 290x the world has ever seen.

(In the asus build i get the  ROG front base included with the motherboard) The links are on a swedish website but you can still read the names and stuff.

Asus build http://www.prisjakt.nu/list.php?l=2724832&view=b =1280 USD

MSI build http://www.prisjakt.nu/list.php?l=2724255&view=b =1250 USD

We need a budget pls so we can give you another build, IMO not the best you can get for your money

PCPartPicker doesn't really help the ones of us who live in smaller countries and would like to order within our borders...

If you could fit that would benefit you more then 2SSD.

I would still though sugssest get a 970 save the rest of the money and add one down the line instead of going 290x but your choice.
