First off, I Want to Thank everybody that help me decide on a PC.

My final thoughts on the build is: AMD vs Intel.

If i Buy AMD:

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z

AMD FX-8350

If i Buy Intel:

ASUS Sabertooth Z77

Intel Core i5-3570k

Please Help me!

Answer requires a WHY!

Benchmark Results are allways helpful.!
