Ive been told to change my ram to the new "Corsair vengeance Pro series" which I will do. (They are the same price)
Also ive been told to change my PSU to Corsair CX 600 or a G-series Seasonic 650W perhaps because of compatibility issues.
Second build:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V6 GT 93.7 CFM CPU Cooler ($49.99 @ Newegg)

The only advantage I see from this build are the free games I get with the 7970. They aren't a major advantage but its a bonus.
I know the 2 video cards are really close and the HD 7970 is a better card for the dollar, but since the first build is under my budget I dont see why its back not to go with the 770!
I was really convinced with the first build (was always a Nvidia/intel fan) but then a member explained how the 2nd build is superior to the first. If I can get any experience opinions on this, you would save me alot of doubt as there's no turning back after I put my order this week.
Thanks alot guys, just need a last solid answer before I place my order!
