As you probably guessed by the title I'm trying to build my first gaming pc with a max budget of £750 (I'd really like to keep it under £710 if possible) and well I can't decide between these two builds.
Build 1
Gigabyte SKT-1155 Z77-DS3H - £67.53
Intel Core I5-3470 - £145.34
Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB 1600 RAM - £ 41.51
Corsair builder 600w psu - £57.26
Western Digital 500gb HHD - £ 43.97
Palit Nvidia 670 - £290.40
Cooler master HAF 912 plus - Already have
Windows 8 oem - 68.49 (Yes I'm a cheapskate)
Total £ 733. 39
Build 2
Gigabyte SKT-AM3+ 970A-D3 (Rev 1.0) - £64.98
AMD FX6300 Black Edition - £105.41
Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB 1600 RAM - £ 41.51
Corsair builder 600w psu - £57.26
Western Digital 500gb HHD - £ 43.97
Palit Nvidia 670 - £290.40
Cooler master HAF 912 plus - Already have
Windows 8 oem - 68.49
Total £ 690.88
All parts from Amazon
I know build 1 is better but by how much? Will there be a massive difference in FPS and will the fx6300 bottleneck the GPU?
Also I might be willing to overclock the 6300. One last thing Nvidia Phyxs still work with a AMD cpu right?
Any help will be appreciated 😀
