My BUdget is around 1300$

 

[madmatt30]

Nothing wrong with either build mate but for me personally it would the the unlocked i5+970 build.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I like #1.

 

[Hawkshot]

the first one would be my choice, I prefer being able to OC my CPU and I also much prefer the GTX 970 over the R9 390 even though I have an R9 290x wish I would of gotten the GTX 970 at the time

 

[Dalton Scarbrough]

I like #1.

What do think about Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card ($343.98 @ Newegg)

 

[lodders]

#1
Better SSD
No water cooling = cheaper and simpler
Overclocking.
Nvidia graphics

 

[Tradesman1]

I'd go the first build also, but kick the DRAM up to 16GB (2x8GB)

It would be ok if it was the 4690k, but it's a pretty terrible value with the regular 4690.

I still like the other build with the i5 6600k better though.
