Intel vs AMD: Building My First Gaming PC

[TheKolapo00]

Ok I have posted 4 other threads showing a build My friends helped me with but people keep saying it isnt very good and that I should go intel instead of AMD.

Im using this for Playing Minecraft, dayz, arma 3, call of duty, left 4 dead 2, league of legends, and a ton of other games. Im also going to be live streaming and recording these games.
The max I want to spend is $950.

Here are 3 builds:

Most of them are under the max budget by $70 or more so I can add or upgrade things to make them better.

What is with the xeon? Totally unnecessary for gaming i would go intel but not the xeon an i5 4690k and an R9 290 would be my recommendation.

Can you link me to a build that is like 900-950 that has intel.

Thats about as cheap as i want to go at $980 if you need me to i can get it down to $950. Do you ever plan on overclocking?

Here is an article on over clocking give it a read and let me know if it is something you might be intrested in if you dont think you will ever overclock i can defiantly get the price of the build down a bit.
