I would go for the AMD buiild, just because there's an SSD in there :)

Also in gaming load you shouldnt see that much of a difference in terms of performence

There is an SSD in both builds.

Go for whatever is cheaper, you will not notice a difference in performance game wise for either build. As long as you are happy with the form factors I dont see a reason to really play a favorite as both with give you the same performance in games, go for whatever is more friendly for your wallet.

This is my recommendation for your lanbox

[Graph1cs]

Go for the Intel!

Your motherboard that you picked isn't capable of having the FX 8350 on it due the fact that the TDP is too high for it's capabilities.

Are you using win 8 or7

Are you using win 8 or7

 

Doesn't matter to me.

[ShadowRaven]

BECAUSE THERE IS A BIOS UPDATE 401 TO 1503 FOR SYSTEM STABILITY & MEMORY TYPE COMPATABILTY AND THE MOUTHERBOARD DOES SUPPORT FX 8350 CHIP

I would go with haswell ITX, but i'll wait for the ROG Rampage VI Impact, that board is awsome.

Buy the Maximus VI Hero.

The impact will be much more expensive than the hero right?

I don't think so, and he will build a mini ITX, Hero is ATX
