Which of these two desktops is the better one?

Guest · Dec 20, 2015

So, I'm getting a new gaming desktop at the end of this month, and I have been searching and searching till I found two to be the best choices to choose from. One is an Asus and the other is a CyberPowerPC. I am trying to choose between these two, and thought I'd ask more knowledgeable people to tell me which is the better one.

The CyberPowerPC desktop specs:

Processor: AMD FX-8320
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
HDD: 2 TB HDD (Honestly idc about the HDD space as long as it's 1 TB or over)
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 970 4 GB

The Asus desktop specs:

Processor: Intel Core i7 6700
RAM: 8 GB DDR4
HDD: 1 TB
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 960 2 GB

I've looked some of the specs of the games I want to play on it, and most of them had the minimum to be the FX-8320 so I'm afraid games will be more demanding and I will have to upgrade the processor really soon. Also, will the 2 GB graphics card make a huge difference in performance compared to a 4 GB one? Thanks.

Both are at around a 1000$ since that's my budget.

Go for the intel build. You are looking forward to use it for gaming.
First point: 8GB of DDR4 is better than 16GB of DDR3. You'll never need 16GB of RAM for gaming. 8GB is just perfect and DDR4 is faster than DDR3. Intel CPUs are more reliable than AMDs in my opinion. Stronger and more solid cores and they don't heat up as much as AMDs which have higher TDP. The graphic card is pretty much similar although the Nvidia GTX 970 4GB will perform better on heavier games.

Hard to tell. I'd prefer to do a mix on a weaker Intel CPU and get the Nvidia GTX 970 4GB but if those are solid builds and you have to choose, maybe I'd go with AMD since CPU doesn't play the major role on gaming, GPU does. Just be sure to get a nice water cooling system for it, you'll need.
