Guys, I will buy one of the set-ups above this coming month or so... Can you guys pick which one is more powerful with my current use? (Dota2, MMORPG, Photoshop, After Effects)
I am open for overclocking A BIT with the AMD build.
Are there any incompatibilities in my builds? Thank you!

the i5 is more powerful even after you overclock the amd one.

I have some options here:

6300 and buy a better gpu
8320 and everything the same
I5 4570 and everythig the same except the ram, I'll only buy one to cover the cost of the proc then add another one later.
Or stick with the i5 4430 build.

Is there a huge diff between i5 4570 and i5 4430? Price diff here are $15

 

[Brantyn Gerik]

go with the 4570, OR save up additional money for the 4670k, the performance difference and ability to overclock just completely decimates any amd option

I5 4670k and a z87 mobo would be possible but it would totally cut off my video card to account for the cost. I can possibly save for a video card in the future as it is easier to upgrade than a cpu. What do you think?

 

[Brantyn Gerik]

personal preference is to get the strong cpu to start, and then upgrade video card when possible

also the integrated graphics will let you use the computer and play older games just fine on low settings for a while until such a time as you can put as much money into the gpu as you really want to
