Which build?

[rayzerj]

I was trying to select some hardware with PCpartpicker, but I can't decide which one to buy! My budget is around $800. Which one should I buy?

 

A.

AMD FX 6300

NZXT Havik 140

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB (2 x 4) DDR3- 2133

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM

Asus Geforce GTX 760 2GB

NZXT Phantom 530

XFX 550W 80+ Bronze

 

B. 

AMD FX 6300

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB (2 x 4) DDR3- 2133

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM

Asus Radeon R9 280X 3GB

NZXT Phantom 530

XFX 550W 80+ Bronze

 

Please feel free to recommend a better build! The only rule is that you must use the Phantom 530 or the Obisidian 750D because I am in love with those cases. c:

B

I place my vote for choice B.

Both builds are out of proportion. No other component is more expensive than the case! Cases are important, but not the most important component.

Are there any cases that you could recommend?

Fractal-Design Core 3000 USB 3.0

Corsair Carbide 300R Windowed

 

Both are rather plain. But the Carbide has a huge window and the Core has a nice black & white thing going inside. What really matters is that they are both well built and very reasonably priced right now.

If I had just these two choices I'd go with B

[lachyman]

Get a cheaper case (Fractal Arc Midi R2) and FX8320, go with 280X.

Neither.
