Cannot decide which would be the right choice, whole system.

Basically I got the option between 2 rather cheap systems.... but I can't decide, which would be the right choice.

The first is an i7 3820 + 4x4 gb tridentx + asus 580gtx 1,5gb + vertex3 + spinpoint f3 1tb + xilence 700w psu + Gigabyte GA-X79-UD 3 + Noctua NH D14
for 700~ bucks

the second... and that's the fun part, a lot of details are unknown sadly, so that's the basic question.
3570k + msi z77 mobo (don't know which)
8 gb g skill ram (don't know which)
unknown psu
samsung 250gb 840 series
2tb hdd 7200rpm (unknown)
670gtx 2gb (unknown)
( alternate 2K13 W7HP64, couldn't find anything solid, except that they may perhaps you cheap stuff and a really cheap psu)
new it would be around 1400~ (not available anymore), I can get it for 800.


So, which would be the best choice?
The main question for me would be: Is the 580 gtx still fast enough to keep on going with upcoming games like the witcher 3, gta V, fallout 4, etc... or atleast until i got some money again, so probably with the nvidia 800 series.
Besides the obvious 120gb ssd vs 250gb samsung 840...


thanks in advance. (current system = old s939 fx btw ^_-)

(edit: I don't mind overclocking the 3820 the old way... I'm used to this anyway)

Reading some review, the 3570 is actually faster... single core related?
Might have thought the 10mb lvl3 cache may be something great... and hyperthreaded has anyway no advantage in gaming, afaik.

I think I'll go for the second, even though some stuff is unknown, kind of, but shouldn't be that cheap crap, I think... or hope.


Anyone got an opinion?

update:

the unknown g skill ram are ripjawsx, 1600 (the red ones)
and the psu is a coolermaster gx lite 600w

counting everything together, both are worth ~1100, if I'd buy every part on my own... so it's a draw, kinda.

I won't upgrade the cpu in years, so would the 3820 be the better choice or the 3570k? (I guess I'm going OC both to atleast 4,5ghz)
