Which of these builds? (AMD vs Intel Build)

[Juanchitoman]

Hey guys!!

After weeks of research I think I've come to the two best builds for €600 (even though I am a total noob in PC building).

Both these builds are €600, which is my budget.
I have a 1080p monitor. Planning on playing intensive games as they come out (Battlefield, etc). Already own OS.

INTEL - http://es.pcpartpicker.com/p/47hLjX

or

AMD - http://es.pcpartpicker.com/p/rLDVCJ

Thank you!

The intel i would say - i5 is a beast

Intel build is good but you would need to update the BIOS of the mobo before using CPU on that mobo. There is no way you can do that with this CPU installed on the selected mobo bcz PC won't boot.

Do you think that the Intel Build with a weaker GPU will be better than the AMD build with a better GPU?

Can you please recommend me a budget motherboard compatible out-of-the-box with the Intel i5-4460

Intel build with i5 and weaker GPU gives you the opportunity to future upgrade of GPU without changing the CPU. For AMD build with better GPU you may need to overclock the CPU to avoid bottleneck and/or to get the desire performance. I would recommend Intel build with i5 for gaming

Thank you. What is the difference between the H97 M PRO4 and the H97 PRO4?

 

[EasyLover]

H97 M Pro4 is micaroATX whereas H97 Pro4 is full ATX.

Just called the store. The guy told me they could update de BIOS for the MSI B85M-P33 V2. Do you recommend it over the H97M as it is €30 cheaper?

Sure. to be budget friendly, you can opt for that.
