Intel i5 4440
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H
RipjawsX 8GB 2x4 DDR3 1600 CL9 or Crucial Tactical Tracer
Hyper 212 evo / Enermax ets-t40

or

AMD FX 6300
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
RipjawsX 8GB 2x4 Dual DDR3 1866CL9 or Crucial Tactical Tracer
Hyper 212 evo / Enermax ets-t40

I already have a 500w modular psu, sata 3 hdd and Palit GT430 1Gb 128 bit. If I'll go for AMD build, it will save me a lot and will have a chance to get a new vga card.

This PC will run almost 15 hours a day. A little bit gaming (4hrs) but mostly as a data storage server (disk caching). I have no plans for OC.

No high-end programs will be used like rendering or movie making. Temperature here is around 30-35C without aircondition. Case have 4 intake and 3 exhaust fans.

Thanks for your possible inputs.

Those CPU's are somewhat equal, but the intel one is better.
I would choose the Crucial Ballistix tactical tracer 2X4GB it has better latency than the Ripjaws one.
If the AMD build will save you money then I would say, go with that one since those two are mostly equal.
If you plan to do any gaming I would recommend getting a better GPU though.

The i5 4440 is better hands down, and you don't need to get a Evo 212 with it.
