Hey everyone, I'm very new to building PCs (this PC will be my first build),
I'm wondering which build will perform better:

Rig #1: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/raspyscout/saved/3jIx
Rig #2: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/raspyscout/saved/3k5l

Rig 1 is $128 more expensive than Rig 2, but what I want to know is if that $128 is worth it.
The difference between the two builds are the:

-CPU (#1: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core vs #2: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core)
-Graphics Card (#1: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB vs #2: Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB)
-Rig #1 has a CPU Cooler while #2 does not.

Note: I will be using this PC for gaming, recording gameplay (usually Team Fortress 2), video editing and from time to time, watching videos and doing homework.

Both builds were made by me with the help of a few friends and people on the forum.

Cheers,
RaspyScout.

Rig #1 by far. The 8320 outplays the 6300. 8-core vs 6-core? Who wins? Obviously the 8-core. You will have a much better gaming experience with Rig #1. Here's a comparison between the two: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-8320-vs-AMD-FX-6300

The GeForce GTX 760 is a lot more better than the R9 270x here's a comparison between the two:

Rig 1 would be your best choice you will have a better gaming experience than Rig #2 could even play BF4 in high settings.

Happy gaming dude! And btw the $128 dollars is worth it.
