Hey, I have a 800$ budget for a gaming PC I will be needing windows 8, 1 or 2 monitors, a keyboard and mouse. I do have 800$ to spend but if you can make the build stronger then i will be able to add 150 or 100 dollars to my budget. Please do reply I am not new to computers just that i have a crap laptop (Its good for programming and coding but not for gaming)!! THANK YOU!@!@!@!

Honestly with your budget I'd go with the AMD build. Not only can you save some money, but in most cases you won't be seeing a massive improvement with the i5 anyway. The keyboard and mouse are okay but not perfect. Overall a good build on a budget with decent peripherals and a pretty good monitor (for the price)
