Which one is better?

[teagansalter]

Hey guys, 

So I helped out my friend with a build design, and he thinks it's garbage compared to his build, which he got off of a youtube video

 

So

This   http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mNn9bv

Vs

This   

 

Obviously one is more expensive, but he is being stubborn and I need you guys to help me!

One is $300 more expensive than the other, and I am not sure if your friend is rolling in "fat stacks", but I could not cough up that money if I tried. The $930 system doesn't not have a storage drive to put an operating system on, so I'd say the $650 rig is better anyways.

Bad PSU in the YouTube build. No SSD in either. No storage in yours. Your build is much more powerful.

Well your friend must be someone who just follows what other people say. Your build seems a lot better than Mush's build. 

But yours costs $300 more than that build in the video so...

1. Obviously.

[HKZeroFive]

No. 1 is definitely the best because of the R9 390, but No. 2 ain't bad considering the price. The only thing I'd change is the power supply.

Oh super sorry, i thought this didnt post. Please ignore this one!

Sometimes you get double posts when you click the "Post" button and nothing happens, then click it again and have it respond. Only to find that it actually responded both times.

Congratulations to ur m8, he played himself.

The first one is better.

[Griffscavern]

Yours has a better gpu, PSU, and a more powerful CPU. However that $650 build is a good build too, minus the PSU. Either would be great for a gaming system. The 4460 will give great performance and do all he needs it to.

exactly what happened, hopefully the new forum layout doesnt do that

The first one is easily better because of the 390 and the overclocking capabilities of the 4690K. Those things will crank to 4.7 on a good day.

You could save 70ish dollars on your PC without sacrificing performance (though kiss color scheme goodbye) if you like the way the rig would looks go for it, either way yours is vastly better in terms of performance also the 390 is a great price to performance card so it would likely win on that front aswell

what would you suggest i change for that price drop?

Moba, ram, and finally the graphics card, you can get a power cooler one for 300 even (plus a 20 dollar rebate but I wasn't counting that), I know 16GB of G.skill ram can be bought for 65 bucks, and lastly you can get a good moba from msi or gigabyte for 90-100 bucks though you board is a great one so idk whether to tell you to switch, also your moba just dropped by 10 bucks (if you rebate)
