Posted April 25, 2015 The i5 build with an R9 280x instead of a GTX 960. The 280x is a similar to the 960 in price but yields better performance. The AMD build yield better GPU performance but I don't recommend you buy that CPU because it's far too old.

Posted April 25, 2015 The i5 build with an R9 280x instead of a GTX 960. That's not that big of a gap. He may as well get the R9 290 instead of either of them. It costs more, but you could knock the price down in other areas.

Posted April 25, 2015 You could cut down the price of the first build a decent bit if you decide not to go with the AIO liquid cooling. Intel's CPU's don't run nearly as hot as AMD's. Unless you are planning on moderate to serious overclocking, I would suggest the Hyper 212 evo. Put the saved money into a better video card as previous posts explain. i5 4670k (can OC to 4.4Ghz) - Hyper 212 evo w/ AC MX2 - XFX Radeon R9 280X - 8GB ADATA XPG V2 DDR3-1600 - MSI Z87 G41 - Corsair CX600M 600W PSU - 1TB HDD - 120GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
