Which would you choose?

[MrMiniBeast]

Ive done a lot of work and i think im finally done picking parts

only problem is im torn between an amd build and an intel build

which should i go with and why?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DI7T - intel

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DGLK - amd

thanks for the help

oh and its mainly going to be for gaming and id like to have the option to overclock in the future without buying anything other than a fan

Intel build is better, however there is $80 between each price point, so that's kind of expected. You should try and work an SSD into each build. Buying a computer this well spec'd without an SSD is kind of silly. If you upgrade to the FX 8350 on the AMD platform, it should be a bit better than the Intel build, especially if you are going to be livestreaming, etc.

Id plan on getting an SSD in about a year after I have money again

im still saving up to try to afford this build

also how many gb should the SSD be? to run all of my steam games and os

Usually 128GB is the sweet spot. 256GB if you have a really large number of programs.

sounds good

just looked one up and a nice kingston was around $110 so its not too expensive

you could get that amd build but put a 7950 in there might get better performance out of that and yeah deffinetly get a SSD when you can afford to in a years time will probably be looking at a 250GB SSD the way things are going whats with the 350GB hard drive?? will probably want more than that for a gaming rig

I figured as soon as i need to i can add a new hard drive. my friend was just selling one.
