Hello guys!

I'm between those three builds for a good gaming rig. I'll be getting a GTX 770 as GPU and a GA-78LMT-S2P AM3+ as motherboard:

FX8350 4.0Ghz Octa-core
1 x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1333MHz
Kingston SSD 60GB

OR

FX8350 4.0Ghz Octa-core
2 x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1333MHz

OR

Intel (Haswell) Core I7 4770
1 x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1333MHz

OR

Intel (Haswell) Core I5 4670K
2 x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance


Thanks for the help!

The first option is the best one, that cpu will handle any game just fine, 8 gb of ram is plenty for now, you won´t enjoy the better bandwidth of dual channel but will have a free slot for an upgrade in the future and that ssd will make your pc very fast in loading and moving files.

Ps: if I were you I´ll go with a better mobo, I own that one that you list and is a great budget mobo but is not for Ocing and just support 95w proccesors.

The FX-8350 would probably be the way to go as many new PC games will probably be ported from consoles and xBone and PS4 are both 8-core AMD APU's.

Always run RAM in pairs, you get a noticeable performance boost from dual channel memory.

Haven't understoodyou , WarWolverineWarrior.
As you can probably see, I'm not very good with hardwares. I just love games and got a great bonus at work this week, and want to renew my gaming rig. lal.

That mobo you´re getting is just for amd cpu so you can´t buy an intel one before changing that mobo, in fact that mobo doesn't support the fx 8350 just fx 6300 or less because of wattage limitations.
