I'm looking for your input on the below suggested components for an update to my desktop.
Currently I have everything else not listed in the lists; e.g. SSD boot drive, HDD storage drive etc.

Intel - http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/klrmn/saved/ZTcgXL

*Note: If I go with the Intel components, my case will still work as will my PSU (500W) however my budget only allow for a R9 270X.

AMD - http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/klrmn/saved/tXPv6h

*Note: If I go with the AMD build, I need a new case (ATX), PSU (600W) however will afford a better GPU (R9 280X).


Your thoughts?
