What PC should I buy? AMD or Intel

Are these pre-built or are you putting them together yourself? If yourself, there are changes I would want to make in each build, for different reasons.

What are them main games?

If I were you, I would build a PC with a i3 6100 and H170 motherboard
In 2-3 years time, you could upgrade it with an i5 and a better GPU

Out of your 2 builds, I think the i3 is slightly better, but neither will be easy to upgrade, so you will have to completely replace motherboard and processor in a few years

I'd go with a 6300 over the i3 personally.

Either way that PSU needs changing - its godawful.

What's your country & budget??

I understood the price limitations when I saw that builds.

The i3 system does not need an aftermarket cooler. The stock cooler is OK., not great, OK. If you could get a cheap stock cooler from an Intel G3258 Pentium from eBay or from a friend, that would be a good, very cheap improvement. you could use the money saved to get an i3 4170 if it is available. Or see if you have enough money to get a R9 370 GPU, which would be better than the one you have selected.

In both situations, your PSU should be higher performance.

If you can afford a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P, you would later be able to upgrade to a FX8300 CPU.
If the FX6300 is all you ever want, the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 might be cheaper and will overclock well.

Neither system will play modern games like F4 and Bf4 especially well.

The Intel system does offer the possibility of a significant CPU and GPU upgrade in the future, the AMD system does not.

If you link to a local site where you might buy from and give us a budget, we might be able to put together a better system for you.

That aerocool PSU is €69!!
You can get a seasonic for the same money.

Here's a budget AMD possibility. You will need to overclock the CPU.

The first is the cheapest, but good,
The second is the most expandable
The third is the most powerful

573 euros including building & delivery (I think anyway as I dont really read spanish)

thats fair enough mate,absolutely 100% go for the 370 over the 750ti though,its virtually the same price.
that antec psu is still a fairly decent unit for under 50 euro too - it may even get you a 950 into the budget??

I still personally think (without taking future upgrading into consideration) that the 6300 is a better cpu than the i3 for new game titles - the age of multithreading is now upon us.
The choice is yours there though.

remember though that in a years time haswell will also be dead & buried,cpu production has already stopped now or is at least being slowed right down - skylake is intels new baby & they dont keep old sockets going for very long once a new range is released - you will be buying second hand wehen you upgrade from an i3 .

from your choices listed about i would go with i3 since it has a better upgrade path. you will be able to pick up a used 1150 cpu real cheap in the future. and that upgrade would be easy since you will be able to keep the same motherboard, ram and cooler.

i also agree, stick with a stock cooler for now. you wont be overclocking, and the stock coolers are designed to keep the CPU within specifications. having a i3 5-10 degrees cooler is not going to give you much if any real world benefits (especially in regards to fps in gaming). so put that money towards the GPU or CPU.

you can also save money going with a single 4gb stick of ram for now. 8gb makes sense for a more powerful system. but 4gb would be enough to match the performance for the rest of the PC you want. gaming at 900p wont use more then 4gb now anyways

you said your current PC is dead, is there anything that can be salvaged from it? you may have a good PSU, RAM, or HDD. dont forget, you might be able to use your current case. all these little things could add up in savings for a better GPU or CPU.

my work was throwing out some old core 2 duo machines. i picked up a q6700 processor on ebay for $20 shipped. i had a extra 128gb SSD laying around (moved the 320gb it came with as a backup secondary drive). installed both upgrades into the old system, upgraded it with a fresh install of Windows 10 and its a great spare PC.

sure the case is ugly and the parts are old, but if i wanted to drop a 750ti/950 in it, even this old thing would run new games at medium 900p (except Just cause 3 which sucks)


my thought process: i would basically pic a gpu and cpu first, and then the rest of the parts would split the remaining budget. if that means cheap PSU or case for now, so be it. i also wouldn't mind buying 2nd hand. (i have bought GPU's used before. i tend to stick to sales where the seller can provide his original receipt and the product is still under warranty)(the CPU i bought was super old so i didn't care)


what i would do: i would pick a GTX 950 and the new i3 (or cheapest used compatible i5 i could find). try to reuse my HDD, Case, DVD drive. if i could find a deal on a 4gb stick, i would buy 4gb of ram. depending on budget i would put more towards a motherboard with features i want, then the left overs would go to whatever PSU i could afford.

6 months to a year later i would upgrade the PSU and/or add another 4gb stick of ram.

i also want to add, i have gone with cheap-o PSU's for years with no problems. i had 2 raidmax PSU's. one 500w and another 750w. i sold each after upgrading, i knew they were cheap, but they both lasted longer then i kept the computers. i even ran a 660 sli setup off of the 750w unit.

if you cant find a deal on a good one now, but foresee yourself affording a good one in the future i dont think it would be a big deal to get a cheaper one now and sell it 6months to a year down the road.
