Why the i5 over the FX-8350?

Just wait on the mechanical drive or the CPU cooler if needed to save a few bucks right now, and add them later. This would also open up SLI as a possibility if you want to throw a second 970 in later.

Thanks guys

That was really quick replied....

Why are you guys not recommending amd processors?

Why are you guys not recommending amd processors?

 

Because they'll bottleneck highend graphics cards, and because you can afford both a highend GPU like a GTX 970 or R9 290x and a quadcore Intel processor on a $1000 budget. The only time AMD CPUs really make sense in a gaming build is for something really low budget designed for 720p gaming, where one of the AMD APUs makes sense.

What about GPU's? Is amd better or nvidia better?

To differentiate between the two builds I posted:

 

Build #1 includes a hyperthreaded CPU and is closer to budget. Now HT CPUs don't make much of a difference in gaming right now, but there are a few games where those 8 threads can matter: namely, Watch Dogs, Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, and Dragon Age Inquisition.

 

Build #2 includes an unlocked CPU, and the i5-4690k is known to usually overclock up to 4.5GHz or so. You also get the option for SLI in the future. With the overclock you could get some benefit in all games that are CPU bound. For badly optimized games like Dying Light which pin one core to 100% usage an overclocked i5-4690k will give you better performance than the Xeon I posted.

 

I'd personally choose Build #1, though I think most here would argue Build #2 is better. If you're ever planning on adding a second GPU, then Build #2 is unquestionably better. But I'd choose Build #1 since I think games are going to start being more core hungry, since they're written for the octacore consoles and then often given quick ports. And as the i3 vs Pentium G3258 shows, the virtual cores from hyperthreading can trump raw clockspeed in core hungry situations. Either would be a really strong gaming rig though.

And I have this question as well

If I get a Xbox one and connect it to a 4k monitor, will I be able to run games at 1440p?

I chose a GTX 970 for the build because it can easily run on a 500W PSU and since there was a crazy deal on an awesome XFX 550W PSU. With an R9 290x I'd feel more comfortable with a 650W PSU than a 550W one, though you could probably squeak by with a quality 550W PSU. In various price ranges, the cards I'd recommend are:

 

$550-$650: Nvidia GTX 980

 

$300-$360 AMD R9 290x or Nvidia GTX 970

 

$250-$280: AMD R9 290

 

$200-$250: AMD R9 280x

 

$150-$200: AMD R9 280

 

$100-$150: AMD R9 270
