Thank you for looking. I have been spending the last few weeks on this and I have it down to two totally different builds.

First and 52% leaning towards is
Intel g3258 on z97 board
watercooled 16gb ddr3 1600
750w modular power supply

2nd
A10 7850k on Asus A88x pro
stock cooler 8/16 gb ddr3 1600 750w modular

So I am torn between the two builds. I have a crappy monitor right now or one of several tvs to plug into. This build will eventually replace my hp all in one that has amd athlon ii x2 (think 205).

I think the intel has a better upgrade path but for some reason the amd is still stuck in my mind as well. I am going to be ordering the parts tonight and I wanted to get some feedback before i do.

I will Play games, never really have before. Current I play on PS4 So I have no clue what settings I will play on. I will add a GPU but just not yet. I just want a system that I can play on and do everyday stuff. That is good at Multitasking

Thank you again

Are you planning on buying a dedicated GPU with this build, or just relying on the integrated graphics?

What is your overall budget for the PC (and I'm just assuming you don't need keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc)?

I plan to use the integrated for now but would like the option for the future. As for speakers I plan to use monitor ones until this fully takes over as my primary. Around 500 is my budget.
