Very very close, but the FX shows better performance: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4440-vs-AMD-FX-83...

Then again, the i5's socket is both newer and has a better upgrade path. Depends if you're looking to future-proof or believe you will upgrade to a better CPU in the future.

build 2

cpu is more future proof, also have you considered a radeon card as the software mantle will help boost performance.

I would get a larger PSU for more headroom, but that is just me.
