Hey guys! So holiday season is rolling around quick, and I was looking to purchase a high-end gaming PC that is also futureproof for the next couple years!
So I came up with two builds, and I was wondering which one would be superior in terms of performance, and which one would be more futureproof / upgradable.
The games i'm looking to play are BF4, Witcher 3, Arkham Origins, AC4, etc.
Price is on the right. PLEASE POST ANY SUGGESTIONS / CHANGES!
Budget is ~2k
