Is thecpu of the 2 the same as 1?

@Mohamed AkRam

 

There's not CPU in the first one, but I guess it's the 4790K. I think that the first one is better though the PSU isn't sufficient... you really need at least 600W imo.

 

Anyways happy building!

First one has an SSD.... so that will naturally be faster.

 

What is your budget and what are you using the PC for?

Let's compare one to one shall we?

Gigabyte G1 > Strix

Gaming 3 and Gaming 5 mobo isnt all that much different, look at the feature and see if you need the extra SATA slot etc on the Gaming 5 or not

Both PSU is ok, but are you sure you want to go with something that low? for 1 GTX 970 it's ok, but what if you want SLI in the future? what if the future card use more power? I'd say about 600W seem fair, or there's also the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W that's very cheap and good too.

If you are going to games only, get an i5, if you do heavy photoshop/video rendering/3D modeling etc then get an i7.

DEFINITELY GET AN SSD

Thanks for your reply 
in the first build the cpu is i5 4690K and the rig is for gaming so which one is better?

[deardevildude]

The one with the 4690k is better, but I would upgrade the PSU to a decent 650W one such as the EVGA SuperNova NEX 650W

[NatCat]

4690K build.

Unless you're doing some editing with your rig, don't get the core i7

Or get the Pentium G3258, check out Linus' review of that chip
