Computer Choices

[Tony Valentine]

So I'm getting a new PC soon. I am currently choosing between 2 systems. Both have the same specs apart from CPU and GPU.

 

System 1:

AMD FX -8350

Asrock Motherboard

Crucial 8GB DDR3 Ram

XFX R9 280X 3GB Overclocked edition

Seagate 1TB HDD 7200rpm

NOX 750W 80+ Certified PSU

Aerocool V3X Evil black edition USB 3.0 Case

 

System 2:

Intel Core i5 4690 3.5Ghz
Asrock Motherboard
Crucial 8GB DDR3
EVGA GTX 970 4GB ACX 2.0 Superclocked Edition
Seagate 1TB HDD 7200rpm
650W 80+ Certified PSU
Aerocool V3X Advanced Black Edition USB 3.0 Case

 

 

Any help on the issue would be nice. (Same price by the way)

I'm not sure how at all you got a more expensive cpu & gpu, on the intel build, and managed to make them the same price >.>

 

Anyway, the intel build is better, flat out.

Go with the Intel build. You won't regret it.

Also, if you can go for the 4690k over the 4690, you'll get the ability to overclock, but this requires a Z97 motherboard for the best results.

My choice would be 4690k and 290x

if you're a gamer there is no question, #2!
