[quinker]

 Any suggestions? the budget is $1000 Canadian  i have the mouse monitor and keyboard. the

 computer is going to be for gaming, ill be playing alot of League Of Legends and Starcraft 2

Go with the AMD rig. There is more graphics power. But give build 2 the R4 and the CX 600M instead of the Rosewill Hive 2.

For one, if all you're playing are games like League or Starcraft, you can get a much cheaper system that will still do the job well.

These are too different to be easily comparable, the budgets don't line up not to mention one has windows where the other doesn't. 

 

Here is a suggested compromise as a best of both

You can change to the PowerColor 7970 if you'd like to save a bit more extra.

biased much?

What he says is true, albeit for SC2 you kind of need at least a decent processor, league of legends can run off of iPhone hardware.

also this (to a non-extreme degree)

it's never bad to overbuild.

The system I suggested should have no problems doing whatever you want it to do and will be crossfire ready in the future.

Erm... I don't think that is what the meaning of a biased opinion is. He was just saying that you wouldn't need such a high end rig to play the games you are. Still, it's never bad to overbuild.
