I have these possible builds Which one should I get

 
 
 
 
 
My budget is $700 and I can go a bit over. I want the least amount of bottlenecking with the most performance. But if I get a bad CPU now, I'll upgrade in 6-12 months.

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

  1. Good if you don't want to overclock, but I recommend that you get Corsair/Kingston Ram.
  2. GPU is not too good, depending on what games you want to play.
  3. If you don't mind AMD Gpu's, this is a great choice if you also don't want to overclock.
  4. GPU is way too overkill for CPU, CPU cooler only has one fan, and RAM isn't from a big company. Really bad choice this one.

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.
