If you list the builds folks will not have to link off-site.

If it is for gaming I would go with the AMD build because the gpu you selected is considerably better

if your spending the same amound on both builds intel is always the better option, performance and gaming wise. also an SSD would make that setup even better
e.g. a small SSD for windows and key programs and a normal, large hardrive for everything else

He had a gtx 770 listed for the AMD build and a gtx 760 for the Intel build how is the Intel build better for gaming?

You may likely snag an R9 280X for less cash than the GTX770 (and hopefully, AMD will expand the Gold Reward 3-game bundle soon to the folks in The Great White North)

Isn't the r9 280x more expensive and delievers less performance than the 770?

Sorry, over my budget

Drop the cpu cooler, and use the stock one until you have to overclock. That will put you under the 1100 budget.
