The second build is considerably better for gaming.

The second rig would game much better. No comparison between the 760 to the 770. The 8350 will have no trouble with any games at max settings.

According to what i know the gaming depends mainly on the gpu so i think tiny voices is right , but what about the SSD and the Monitor of the second rig?

 

[tiny voices]

The Samsung 840 pro is going to be like 5% faster than the sandisk. NOT noticable in any way at all. Both are good SSDs.

The ASUS monitor is MUCH better because that benQ isn't even 1080p. That would be a waste for a gaming build.

Thanks for all your feedback , I think i will go for the second rig , ty!

Always glad to be able to help!

Both builds are great! But I personally would go with the GTX 760 (as you can see in my signature 😛). Why? Because it's just bang for the buck. I mean come on guys - with 760 you can max any game. Maybe you'll just have to lower the filtrations from 8X to 4X or something unnoticeable like that. GTX 760 + i5-3570K/4670K is totally fine & enough for gaming. This is my advice. Save your money.

I wouldnt say any game such as crysis 3 metro last light

 

[John Koligliaths]

I considered buying the 760 but after 5 years in a ati radeon x300s i think i deserve a 770 for some HD gaming Also cant w8 to play watch dogs in high settings

Crysis 3 is an exception. It looks like that the developers of the Crysis 3 have been thinking that everybody has SLI TITAN + 2 x i7 PC. Which is just ridiculous...

Lol, then why you buyed the 760? And by saying "I deserve 770" it looks like that Nvidia should have donated one 770 to you. 😀

 

[John Koligliaths]

I havent bought anything yet ... xD I hope nvidia gifted it to me ! 😀

 

[sando99]

Oppss. sorry. Didn't saw the word "considered", lol. 😀 Yea, Nvidia should make a donation to all fans. 😀

Metro can be a good challenge for the gpu thats why i said those 2 but other then that i really dont see to many challenges for gpus unless the game isnt optimized correctly
