HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)

MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand)

MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H Intel B75 Chipset DDR3 mATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio, HDMI, GbLAN, USB 3.0, SATA-III, 2x Gen2 PCIe x16 & PCI

*Computer B*

I think computer A is better, but I'm not sure and I need a second opinion. Please let me know what you think

Computer A = $694
Computer B = $693
BUDGET= $700

if you benchmarked each computer, I'm sure Computer A would be better at some games than Computer B

if you want to split hairs, look at what games you'll be playing with each processor benchmark and decide which one fares better

Thanks for the reply. As these desktops I've listed are from Cyberpowerpc.com, I only have CrossFireX motherboards as an option. Would you recommend another motherboard from the website ? Thanks
