Which of the two is better ?

[Kalipso]

So basically, i'm getting a new pc and tell me please which one should i get, so it's
- Asrock 970 Extreme3 - AMD 970 chipset
- Procesor AMD X4 965 BE BOX
- DDR3 8GB (2x4) Kingston 1600MHz HX
- MSI GTX660 OC TF3 2048MB GDDR5
- HDD Seagate 1TB, Serial ATA III
- DVD LG GH22NS
- MS Logic A30
- Corsair 600W CX Series
vs
- Asrock Z77 PRO3, 1155
- Procesor Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz
- DDR3 4GB (1x4GB) Kingston, 1600MHz
- Sapphire HD 7850, 2GB GDDR5 256bit, 28nm
- HDD Seagate 1TB 7200rpm SATA III
- DVD LG GH22NS, DVD±RW
- MS Logic 04
- OCZ 500W CoreXSTream 2

Which one will be better in a long run ? it really means a lot for me because i'm a gamer

The top one, mainly because the PSU is of much, much higher quality than that truly abysmal OCZ unit and the fact that you have 4 cores, which futureproof's your system. Plus, you can upgrade to a Piledriver FX CPU if you so desire or (if possible) to the future FX CPUs, you have twice the ram and a better GPU. That system will last you at least 2 - 3 years, as Dual cores are now slowly becoming irrelevant to the gaming world.

#2

My vote goes to #2 as well. Better CPU and GPU You'll need to add in another 4 GB ram stick

Oh, thanks for your opinion, my main concern was the X4 processor which isn't as good as intel's i3 3220 which has hyperthreading, but yeah.. somehow it seems to me that the first one is better, but i'm not sure if X4 will deliver

Huh ? i thought the 660 is much better than 7850 😱

#2 Because AMD processors are much slower than Intel (Example: An AMD FX-8150 8 core couldn't beat a Intel i5 2500k with 4 cores),
and if you want to do some video editing or rendering Intel will beat the crap out of the AMD CPU'S.

Actually it is but the Intel cpu is much better than the AMD (no hate) one so go with build 2.

But up there dottorrent has a good point :/ also will the 500W do ?

500 w is enough to run that thing PC with a 7970. A 7850 will be no problem

That 500W PSU is a poorly built unit. I chose 1 because of how compatible his system will be for the future and because of the better PSU.

Okay guys.. let's just say i managed to save some extra cash and i could buy this
- Asrock B75 Pro3 - Intel B75
- Procesor Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1GHz
- DDR3 8GB (1x8GB) Kingston, 1600MHz Hyper X
- XFX HD7850 1GB DDR5 ZNFC
- HDD Seagate 1TB, Serial ATA III
- DVD LG GH22NS, DVD±RW
- MS LOGIC B04, Midi tower
- XFX Core Edition 80+ 450W
now tell me, is this better than those two in my original post, and is the PSU fine ?

I agree it is a far better build..
Change the xfx for a sapphire version of the ssame card.
