I'd go with the Intel Build, since it looks like all the other components are the same.. Can you tell us your budget and location, and we'll make your build better.

Intel is a much stronger gaming build (and most everything else), AMD has a slight edge w/ video rendering, but that's about it

NEITHER

why use a dated graphics card .
A GTX 970 can be had in the same budget

Why use two SSD's? Why use a SATA SSD at all when M.2 is so much faster ?

Well, the Intel may get a few more frames per second in benchmarks, but I love my 8350. The only place i5s really beat the 8xxx series is in benchmarks, and in my opinion real world is more accurate. However, once you get to the $300 range, Intel definitely takes the cake.

CPUs aside, that PSU is overkill, and you could get a 970 or so and stay pretty close to your budget.

already have all of the other parts except the PSU CPU RAM and Mobo. This is a upgrade more or less.
