I am torn between 2 builds based on 1) Kaveri AMD A10-7850K or 2) Intel Core-i5 3350P + GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Not reusing anything. Leaning towards 1) since I am thinking 2) might be overkill for the games I play.

Goal is to play these games maxed out 1080p with at least 30 fps at all times.

Would build 1 be able to pull it off? Correct me if I am wrong but I am certain build 2 will meet my goal but will it be able to maintain 60 fps at all times, if not which part should i upgrade?

Reaper of Souls coming so I got a feeling this will be my Diablo machine for a good long while.

Thanks for the help!

Ultimately 1000 is my max. Keep in mind though the games I've listed above and their types are the only games that will ever be played on the system, rest of my gaming will be done on ps4/ xboxone/ wiiu, so I am trying to find a sweet spot and not over build capacity that won't be used.

Thanks for the build Marco. That is crazy affordable. Think I will switch out storage for 120 g Crucial M500 only 75 and all my stuff is gonna be on the cloud any ways except those games. Maybe even 240 g for 120. $ per g on ssd seems quite good.
