Which build is better? In regards to the extra performance per dollar and how long the build will last. Also what will be the best for upgrading? What i'm asking is the price premium worth it in the end?
The computer will be used for gaming, photo editing and video editing. (With the focus on Gaming)
*Note for the ram on the second build, I only choose that one because ddr4 isn't where it should be. So think of it as a temporary placeholder until more ram options emerge.
