Which Build Is BEST!

[Ethan WickedPlayer]

I have configured two builds, the main difference is amd cpu or intel cpu. If you're wondering why there is a random HDD in both builds, it is to make up other costs. (Amd build: The HDD covers the amount for windows, usb, and the case because the listing isn't there. Intel build: The HDD just covers windows and the usb.)

We have no intel build


I lied... There is an intel build. Honeslty, both are great for gaming, the i5 edges the 6300 because of its faster single core, but both are viable.

If I had to choose, intel would be it, because of the single core performance.

You mean the 8320, right?

Get the i5 4460 its like $4 more

Also in the intel build why are you buying another 500gb HDD? 1TB is plenty of space, my advice either spring for a better GPU or pick up a 120gb SSD for your OS and favourite programs.

Just a few bucks more and you get an SSD.

650W is too much, 400 or 450W would be enough. Buy an Antec True Power Classic 450W, a LC-Power 9500, a SuperFlower HX 450 or Be Quiet E10 400W
