list 2 gives better upgrade paths later on, and from that better performance later on, 1 might offer better gaming performance now, but probably not by much, if at all

2, because the FX quadcores are a waste of money, the extra GPU power dosent matter if the CPU is too weak to handle it in the first place

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

If you were gaming and only gaming on a very tight budget I would go option 1. Highly doubt you would get any kind of serious CPU Bottle-necking in games and the extra GPU horsepower would serve you better. For more general stuff I would go option 2 for the much better per core performance and more modern chipset that you would get with intel
