For sure, build your own. I would do the intel i5 build with some tweaks:

Most monitors come with a DVI cable to hook up for HD. A HDMI cable would also work

Personally, I would spend another $15 on the case to get a Corsair 200R or 300R (if its on sale)

is that build the best and beats all the builds i link? im new here i really want a good build by tweaks what do you mean?

Yes, the most important changes are the i5 4430 to the i5 4460, only $5-10 more but clocked higher and the PSU to a good quality XFX. Also changed the monitor.

I am not a fan of AMD builds since there is no upgrade path and they lack power on games that don't utilize multiple cores.
