Hello everyone. I will be getting a better pc soon, and I want to know which set will run my games better? I will be playing on 1920 x 1080, I want to run high/ultra quality.

(I play games like) 
CS:GO
DayZ
H1Z1
Cod
Battlefield
Overwatch
Rocket league
GTA V
Minecraft

 

(1st Set)
Windows 10 (64 Bit)
6th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-6400 processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics
1TB hard drive
8GB DDR4 Ram

 

(2nd Set)
Windows 10 (64 Bit) 
6th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-6700K processor
2TB & 120GB (SSD)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 graphics
DDR4

Please Help me Decide! Thank you

What's your budget? There's a better in-between choice.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

Always Build your own system ! With that off my chest.....

Since you are limited to these two systems & Assuming gaming is your main concern then I would recommend the First option !

 

 

FX 6300 @ 4.2 Gigahurtz 1.325V ,  ASRock 970 Extreme 4 mobo  ,  Kingston Hyperx Blu 2X4GB @1600Mhz  , Asus GTX 960 DCU ii Black OC  , Hyper 212 Evo , Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB , WD 1 TB caviar Green , Xonar DG sound card , Seasonic M12ii Evo 620W PSU , Corsair 200R case ,4 random case fans.

I just looked on BestBuy's website even though i'm in Australia. I found this system, it's on sale from $1200 down to $1120.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-2tb-hard-drive-120gb-solid-state-drive-white/4513601.p?id=1219756373476&skuId=4513601

It has the following:

Windows 10 (64 Bit)

Core i7 6700k

16GB DDR3

2TB HDD and 120GB SSD

GTX 960

 

It's a better choice than the both of them, but the GTX 960 does only have 2GB of VRAM like every other GPU in these options.

With a decent budget like that, you might be able to get a gtx 1070. Something like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-vr-desktop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-1tb-hard-drive-black-blue/5374304.p?id=bb5374304&skuId=5374304

Or this (If you can stretch your budget a little bit): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-desktop-intel-core-i5-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-128gb-solid-state-drive-1tb-hard-drive-black-blue/5374301.p?id=bb5374301&skuId=5374301

best buy heavily marks up all their parts. if its the only place you can buy from, prebuilts actually make more sense than building your own

6700K + 960 looks good.

E7-8890 V3 x2 , 12TB DDR4 @ 1866, Quadro K6000's + 2x GTX 1080's.

getting 6700k on limited budget for 1080p gaming is a waste of money tbh, just get i5 with something like 980\rx480
