Need some advice on my new to build PC for Gaming
I am trying to build my own computer. as you might expect.

I have looked around and tried to put a system together.
one AMD and one Intel.
in my country they come up to about the same price.

AMD

AMDFX 8370 With Wraith Cooler
Corsair 16GB 1866MHZ Vegeance Pro
Kingston SSD V300 240GB
Corsair CX600M
Zalman Z11 Plus
Asus strix R9 380 4GB
Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0


Intel
Intel core I5 4690K
Corsair 16GB 1866 MHZ Vengeance Pro
Kingston SSD V300 240GB
Corsair CX600M
Zalman Z11 Plus
Asus Strix GTX 960 4GB
Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z97

in Slovakia where i live this comes to around 850 euro. (so that is around my budget)
Also i have 2 extra HD's i wanna add to the build.
Not that much room as i also need to get screen and keyboard and other items.
Putting aside 1200 for the whole thing..
Now my question to you all is what are your thoughts about the systems.. and which one would last me the longest.
If there are any questions i will try and answer as best as i can.

Advice on what exactly. Post where you live (US, Canada, UK, etc) and what sort of budget you have, as well as what you want a computer for.

Update - Definitely go for the Intel build out of the two. I do agree with superninja though. Get a much better quality power supply than the CX series

ok updated the build with the CX600M Power Supply because i cant seem to find CX550M anywhere.. and i dont feel like waiting for to long..
or would the CX500M be enough for this build?

ok so what about the "arctic fusion 550 bulk or the "Seasonic SS-500ET-T3"

Which of the two would take your favor?

Because i think i wanna get maybe a little overkill on the power.. just so to have some room to play with in the future.

know that its harder to earn money in slovakia than here in the netherlands or germany however your gaming rig is worth a lot of money.
those 30 extra euros can ensure your that all of your components will work for 10+years .

it would be very sad if u get black screens or broken hardware 1 year later.
please listen to us and invest those 30 extra euros
