Ok so I posted a few days ago with a build similar to this. After my friends tell me "amd sucks" or "You're gonna bottleneck the gpu" I decided to tweak my build.
Here is the build that got hated on.

I don't see why they were hating on amd. They all plan to play bf4 on their new intel builds, but bf4 is basically optimized for amd lol.
Anyway, here's the intel build. I don't know which one to take, but I like them both. That's why I need your opinions. Anyway, here you go.
