Which build should I get?

Hi, guys I got an offer from 2 ebay sellers for the exact same price of 900

 

here are the builds for each

 

gtx 980 sli build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/omaralkha/saved/#view=TLMBD3

 

gtx 780 ti build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/omaralkha/saved/#view=p6C323

 

the gtx 980 build has 2 980s so thats good, but the 780 ti build has better over all parts

 

What do u guys think?

It would take a lot more to swap that 8320 out with something that can actually handle 980 sli than $70. You would need to buy at least an i5 4690(non k) and H97 Mobo which would be at least $200 to get those. Go witht he 780ti build. Then save for a new card for whenever you need it.

u think its worth 900 though, or should I just end up buying my own for cheaper with a 970?

Woah holy shit... Who would put a 4130 with 980 SLI. The 4130 couldn't even handle one 980 it's so weak. That build is just not worth it at all. You're pretty much only buying the cards in that systems and getting everything else for free.

m8 if you have $900 you could build something of your own for that with a 970 and it would outperform both of those systems. Go with building your own if you can. Need any help with a parts list DM me or just ask and I'll do everything I can to get you a good system.

Id go with the second but get a cheaper mother board, loose one of the SSD's, buy cheaper ram, and then you'll have about $500 for the GPU. Save up a little bit more and you got yourself a 1080.
You could even switch to an air cooler to get those savings for the 1080.
So actually, neither.
