700 Dollar Amd or Intel Build?

[BudLightHereWeGo]

The best bang for your buck builds I could create on my own though I'm unsure to go with Intel or AMD with a Gtx 760.


Here are the builds I'm thinking about:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/BudLightHereWeGo/saved/2LhI

Or

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/BudLightHereWeGo/saved/2LhO

Yes, they are very similar only a change in CPU and a Mobo. I'm listing this as system because I'm curious if there is a better build for $700 than what I have. If you have any other Ideas let me know. Thanks. I do not need an HDD I only need the parts listed

Both are good rigs but for gaming get i5

So get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for $20 more, a couple of good case coolers and you will be ready to go.

i'm not sure about PNY GPU but don't even thing about EVGA PSU.
SR-71 gave you best performance focused + reliable parts in best best of the price then why your looking here and where. Still i'm not sure about PNY products coz i'd never used that.

A 500W psu won't show full potential in a 760 and I'm unsure why I need 2133 Ghz ram because I won't be doing any video editing at all. I don't like the 200R as much as the Level 10. The only improvement I see is in the Mobo

You can have a 1000W power supply on your build and It wont change anything... Maybe a tiny bit but it doesn't really matter.

All you need is 1333MHz Ram

And that build lacks the Optical drive and OS (unless you resort to certain methods that toms does not condone)

Thanks for pointing out the absence of an OS.

The PSu does not affect performance in any way at all. A 500w PSU will run the system EXACTLY the same as a 1000w would.

If you wanna go like this then go for this one. its much much and much better in every way then your bulid

A 500W psu won't show full potential in a 760 and I'm unsure why I need 2133 Ghz ram because I won't be doing any video editing at all. I don't like the 200R as much as the Level 10. The only improvement I see is in the Mobo

The PSu does not affect performance in any way at all. A 500w PSU will run the system EXACTLY the same as a 1000w would.

This, as long as you have a high quality 500W PSU it would run fine. I'd suggest getting a SeaSonic 550W PSU.

PNY products are decent and the EVGA PSU is a solid unit.

This is 100% the way to go.

I agree, best price to performance ratio I have seen for $700.

Its almost the way to go .
The ASUS M5A97 LE has no heatsinks on the VRM's so it will not overclock well at all . Its also compressed in width and that may cause issues with RAM and cpu coolers .
Change the processor to an FX 6300 , and then the motherboard to the M5A97 R2.0 , Asrock Extreme 3 or similar Gigabyte


and then it becomes the best value gamer at that price IMO......once you have added a hard drive !
