First Time System Build - Advice Please

[pledge42]

Hi,

I am going to be building a PC soon. Please could you advise me. I am either going to get an 8350, with a good motherboard, or an 4670 with an alright motherboard. What do you think is best, and are there any other good options. You can also advise on a better build. My budget is ~£750-£800. All ill be doing is gaming. I'd linke to get +60fps on most games at ultra.

Here is the rest of the build:
AMD R9 290
600W PSU
1TB HDD
8GB 1866MHz RAM
DVD Drive
Fractal Design Define R5
21.5 inch Monitor

Your link does work you have to post the permalink or use the export button(bbcode). 8350 vs the Intel would depends on the use of the system. For mainly gaming get the Intel. If you plan on doing some gaming but alot of multitasking that will use more than 4 threads then get the AMD.

I've fixed the link. I'm only going to be playing games, along with browsing. No video editing really.
