hardware comparison

hi i was just wondering how would these specs compete, which would have better performance?

 

build 1:

i5-6400

gigabyte H110M (motherboard)

2x4 gb of ddr4 ram from corsair (2666MHz)

2 tb hdd from seagate

asus gtx 1060 strix o6g

corsair CX750M psu

240 gb ssd from fujitsu

 

build 2:

i5-6400

MSI H110M gaming (motherboard)

2x4 gb of ddr4 ram from corsair (2666MHz)

2 tb hdd from seagate

msi gtx 1060 gaming x 6 gb

enermax 750 watt (80+ gold) psu

240 gb ssd from team

The system is going to run practically identical the only difference being the possibility of a higher overclock on the asus 1060 compared to the msi 1060 and a couple more frames. Both system are quite identical except for the SSD choice and the GPU. SSD would not make any significant difference or anything that you could notice.

just as @AinsleyHarriot539 said, it will almost be the same, however, please avoid the corsair supply. they are not very good. I have no idea about the other one.

yeah the power supply worries me

No need to worry i am using a corsair PSU and have used them for numerous builds (I have a CM750 the so called "budget" PSU) to power my system and there are no issues. I would recommend staying away from cheaper PSU's as they have a higher chance of defecting and also i never heard of the brand team so i wouldn't know if the drives are stable and of high quality compared to something like Samsung and OCZ.

if your cx750m has a green sticker on the side, its the older cx which isn't that good but way more than enough for your pc. its its the grey sticker than its the new units which are good budget units.

Which site are you browsing these parts from?

 

>get cheaper 2133/2400Mhz ram as the mobo only supports 2133(anything higher is gonna get downclocked)

>get the CX550M instead or a Seasonic S12II/M12II whichever has the better value

>im pretty sure the asus and msi have the more expensive variants of gpu, go with gigabyte (windforce oc/itx)/evga (gaming/superclocked)/zotac(mini/amp!)

>whatever you saved put it towards an i5-6500 and better SSD(OCZ Trion 150/Samsung 750EVO/Adata SP550/Sandisk SSD Plus/PNY CS1311)
