Hey guys,

I am planning on building a gaming pc for myself, have some money saved up. I have two builds and was wondering your guys opinions on these and which would be a better spend to my money.

First;
CPU; Intel i5 4690K
CPU Cooler; Corsair H60
Motherboard; Asus Sabertooth Z87
Memory; Corsair Vengeance 16GB
Storage; Corsair Neuton GTX 120GB
Seagate 1TB
GPU; Asus GeForce GTX 780 3GB

Second;
CPU; Intel i7 4770K
CPU Cooler; Corsair H60
Motherboard; Asus Sabertooth Z87
Memory; Corsair Vengeance 16GB
Storage; Corsair Neuton GTX 120GB
Seagate 1TB
GPU; Asus GeForce GTX 780 3GB
Asus GeForce GTX 780 3GB

My question is the second option is £350/400 more than the first. My uses would be really solely gaming; Skyrim, Minecraft, Far Cry, Assassins Creed, the usual really. Would it be worth waiting another two weeks to save for the second option or would I be paying for more power that I won't utilise?

Secondly if the second config is the one to go for is it worth the SLI? Or can this GPU function perfectly alone?

Thanks guys!
 
Solution
AMD Radeon
I strongly suggest #1 build
you dont need i7 for gaming PC. and GTX 780 is already overkill at 1080p gaming. Let alone gtx 780 SLI

btw, i5 4690K should be paired with Z97 mobo
use the most popular Asus Z97-A

I highly doubt you would be able to tell a difference in one and two 780s.

Do you plan on overclocking? If not you could take away the aftermarket cooler and you could shave some dollars off of your processor by going to a locked i5-4590, which is more than capable of these titles and those to come.
