hey people, firstly i would have chosen amd but some people pulled my mind over to intel here are the rigs and they have a 70 Euro difference... the intel is 70 euros more but i have enough money to buy it :)...
INTEL PC:
k380 coolermaster box
750W PSU superchannel
1TB seagata barracuda
motherboard is a G43 one something.
CPU i5 4670 3.4Ghz
GPU GTX 670 MSI power edition
8GB corsair vengeance RAM
--------------------------------------------
AMD PC
all the same as intel accept the following:
also G46 mobo...
FX 8350 piledriver
HD 7950

I will play on a 23' screen on 1080 so what will be the best for future care?
also i dont now who wants to buy the HD 7950 because his mem speed is 1004 mhz slower then the 670 and his core clock bouwt 300mhz slower...tnx!

The 770 uses a pci express 3.0 slot... Which is the standard on all recent motherboards, just make sure the motherboard has atleast a slot.
Make sure you're case has clearance for the vid card and a aftermarket cpu cooler.

You could go for the 8core... or swap your intel cpu for a 3570k unlocked to overclock to 4.5-4.8ghz with a budget cooler.
Not sure on the price differences though.

Just to warn you though, amd chips heat up alot... So you will defs need a cpu cooler of some sort,. A CM 212EVO will do the trick for around 30-35$

60Hz? Go AMD, but switch out the HD 7950 with a GTX 760 4Gb. The 8 cores will help with next gen gaming and the 4gb vram will help with the possibility of VRAM usage being higher in the near future.

If you had a 120Hz monitor, I would recommend an intel i7. But for now, I think AMD is a better option because of the 8 core support comming VERY soon. To be totally honest with you, you would NOT notice the difference between a FX 8350 and an i7 on a 60 Hz monitor.

Also, I have a friend running a FX 8350/GTX770 rig, and we see no difference in FPS.
