Hey. I really don`t know what to buy, i have the budget for both configurations, in case of the second one i will spare a lot of money. In my mind im thinking the First will play curent/future games in HIGH/ULTRA maybe 4k or the Second one Medium/High with lower resolution. I need some advice, opinions, if you where in my shoes what config will you buy and why...10x

Well, it just comes down to if you want to save money or not and what games you are wanting to play and at what resolution.

If we are just going by those 2 options, not keeping the prices in mind, I would go for the intel hands down.

1. The i5-4690k is just much new and faster than the 6300.
2. Better graphics card
3. The mobo is your AMD build I wouldn't overclock with

Unless money is very tight for you and you could use the money saved for bills or something else, I would go for the intel.

Just wondering, you already have a good brand power supply? From the looks of these builds it looks like you are using a site to build from.
