So I want to build my own computer (for the first time). I would primarily be using it for gaming and game design as that's what I'm studying..
What do you think for these parts? I heard an AMD CPU would be a good choice. I'm not sure on which graphics card though. Should I leave it or change it?

Prefer not to have the whole crossfire thing going on as well if possible...

Thank youuu!

Most of it looks good; I'm assuming Newegg doesn't ship where you are though? Their prices for some of those components are a lot better. AMD isn't really a good choice for gaming if you can afford an i5 or i7 from Intel, since their per-core performance is substantially worse. If you must go with AMD, I'd recommend the 8350 if you can find one, since it's newer than the 8320.

The 8320 is just a downclocked 8350. They're almost exactly the same, save for that difference. Also, they booth came out at the same time.

Sorry, you're right. I was thinking of the 8150.
As for the new builds, both look good, but looking at those prices the 3570K might be a better option, since there's only about a 10% difference between that and the 4670K performance-wise. I'm not quite sure why one build has a 760 and the other has a 770, but both are good options.
