What are you doing with your PC? It's hard to judge when you simply throw us two configurations, for all I know there could be a third configuration that would be more appropriate for you.

I really doubt you need an i7, but k den
also 850w is unnecessary for that build

I'm doing a build for gaming and editing and multitasking. Sorry, I should have had that in there.

oh ok, but I still say, it only matters unless you do it as a job or actually put up content often to be worth it

btw 850w still unnecessary for a single GPU, 650w will do you good in that build, 700w for 2 cards

Honestly, neither

Why?

Why?

Because they are both overpriced excluding the peripherals

Then why don't you make a better build for cheap? Not trying to be an asshole, though.

Just screen capping games and then editing it into Sony Vegas, but I want fast edits.
