Please help me decide:

[Hamza Sohail]

I have two computers that I can buy only 1 of them at the moment:
The first one is:
Processor: intel i7 (second generation)
Graphics Card: GTX 480
RAM: 16GB
Harddrive: 1TB
Motherboard: P7P55D
Also includes 4 additional fans and managed cables for optimized lighting.

The second one is:

CPU AMD 8 core FX8150 at 3.6GHz
RAM 8GB DDR3
CPU cooler Cooler Master
Video PowerColor AXR9 270X 2GBD5-PPDHE
Motherboard ASRock 970 Extreme3
New Hard Drive Seagate 1TB, will provide receipt for the hard drive.
DVD-RW
Power supply EVGA 600W
Case Antec VSK-4000E-U3

Both are the same price, which one should I get? I am looking to play games like Battlefield and DayZ, also future upgrading. I need something that I can upgrade in the future with minimal compatibility issues, and please tell how those above two will perform on some of the titles that are out today.

Regards!

The problem is that the first has a better processor but slower video card .

GTX 480 = GTX 750 ti
R9 270X is 50% faster than GTX 480

Both rigs are capable of running games .

Hello,

Strictly for gaming, go for the second system (good PSU, good motherboard, new HDD, 2GB video memory, with a good cooler you can overclock the CPU if you need); you could add more RAM later if needed.

So if I pick the second one and in the future I add in a total of 16GB ram and another r9270x
Will I be able to run games at max/ultra
Also what do you guys think, how will the second PC handle games like BF4, Arma, DayZ as it is. And with another r9270x and extra 8gb ram.

And what would be a good price for the second PC? What should I pay.
