Which one is better?

[Cool_Master]

I asked to build a new pc last week. Some guys said I should wait for 9 series. So I rebuild two new specs. Please tell me which one is better.
I will play bf4, gta5...and do some video edit, and I have two specs now. Which one is my best choose?

PS：$1700 is the most budget

Thanks for help

You want someone to tell you that if you pay more you get more stuff?

Neither.

Both are lopsided and money is being spent in the wrong places.

Yuo can even add a better power supply and a second GTX970.

Your first option is better.

- Check out the Samsung 840 Evo 250GB SSD. I think it's better than the Intel 530 240GB and cheaper (atleast in my country). Buy whichever is cheaper in your country.

- You could get the Gtx 980 for that much money.

- If you're going to SLI in the future get a quality 750/850W PSU. Rosewill Capstone 750W is $80 (100 - 20 rebate) on Newegg (the non-modular one).

- Get a CPU cooler like the Noctua NH-D14 and overclock the **** out of your system

"could get a GTX980"...

Makes me shudder... So not worth it.

 

[rk_ftw]

"So not worth it."

I disagree.

 

[Novuake]

"So not worth it."

I disagree.

Really?

Very well, I will bite.

The GTX 980 is only about 10% faster than a GTX970.
BUT it cost 60%+ more as well.

Cost is not worth the small improvement, especially when you consider that you can ALMOST have SLI GTX970 for the price of a single GTX980.

 

[rk_ftw]

When you put it that way, it is true in that the GTX 970 in SLI will outperform GTX 980 in performance and the cost will only be about 120 ~ 140$ more. You can also overclock which is a huge plus. It has even got benchmarks to prove that -

But, in games that have not been optimized for SLI it will get worse results than when it's a single GTX 970. Though you can disable the second card when it comes to that I think (not sure).

SLI is great that you can make it work in pretty much any game, the scaling that it gets is what matters though.

Thanks for guys help. And I have some questions
1.What is a second GTX970?
2.I am not sure I will do sli or not, so should I buy 750/850W psu now?
3.Can guys give some suggests about better psu?
4.For SSD, I choose INTEL 530, some one said that is much slow, is that true? Or have better choose?
Thanks again.
