Which build is better for gaming and will get my friends money worth?

SafariSquirrel5 · Jul 24, 2016

My friend is going to build a PC for high end gaming and he will do some overclocking. I want to know which build is better in terms of performance and cost. The budget is $3500.

Both builds are sexy, but i would go for skylake one. If only gaming 16gb is plenty fine.

Also, don't go for 2x1080 -now-. Wait the new TITAN X pascal and see how it performs in 4k.

Liquid Cooler is a bit overkill imho if it's not for the looks.
As are 2 1TB SSDs, I like the option with 1SSD + 1HDD better.you can upgrade a 2nd SSD easily if needed.
1080 if you can afford it, 600-700W is more than enough in a single GPU setup.
If primarily used for fps gaming maybe get a g-synch display, if not IPS 60Hz should do just fine

To be honest, they will both perform the same.

really?, so in both builds you will get the same graphics performance?

Pretty much. But I don't recommend SLI the 1080 because the Titan X is coming. Wait to see how that does.
