so what i will do doing is playing League of Legends, some random little games here and there, college work, WATCHING youtube videos and watching streams.
While ill be playing LoL ill have skype up and maybe music.

I dont know what way to go intel or amd but I have the 2 builds made out and I bought the Gpu already and the Case.

Help and some examples of why the intel would beat the 8 core amd or what ever way it is.

Here are the builds

INTEL I5

AMD FX 8350

Solution
I'd go with the i5 but swap the motherboard to an Asrock H97 Pro4 (or Pro4m). The extra few bucks for the EVGA 500B is worth it in terms of build quality. LOL will definitely run better on the i5 as it prefers a few very fast cores over multiple slower ones.
Best bang for buck motherboard right now is the Asrock H97 Pro4m.

As for returning, most retailers will charge a fee unless the card is faulty. Have a look at the terms and conditions where you bought the card from. Alternatively, use the 660 until you can't play the games you want at the settings you want then replace it.
 
Okay ill see what i can do with that. I just ordered the I5 4590 now the mobo is asrock a good company?
