Only two builds for this category?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

What is this , we need at lease 3 more builds in here.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

They need to reboot this one.

 

[damric]

Of the two, I voted for Ivan's based on PSU. This category should be thrown out since there are not 5 nominations.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I won't vote with only 2 , there were other nice builds that should have made it.

 

[Rapajez]

I know this will probably get my butt kicked by AMD fans, but why would anyone dropping $2000 on a PC go with a FX CPU? Are there any games were a 8350/9370 beats out a i5-4690k?
