Hi!

I have collected a bunch of spare parts and just need a motherboard and RAM to complete either of these setups:

1:
Intel® Core™ i5-3470S Processor - 2.9GHz quad core 6mb cache
msi N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr 2/OC - 1GB
4GB DDR3 RAM

2:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+ - 2.3GHz dual core 1mb cache
2X msi N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr 2/OC - SLI - 2x1GB
4GB DDR RAM

I have a 700W psu, and 500gb 7200rpm hdd.

So which setup would give me the best performance for playing games? (games like: Cities: Skylines, GTA V, ARMA 2, Far Cry games, The Witcher)

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

always go intel at least
the gtx 560 is a powerful card but not as much as todays card

but two gtx 560 in sli = killer gaming but with a Athlon 64 x2 4400+ ???? big bottleneck here

Alright, thanks!
I wanted to do sli with the intel i5, but it says in the specs that it only supports: "up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8 & 2x4". Does that mean that i can't run the two gtx560 in sli with the processor?? (they are pci e x16)

i haven't brought a motherboard yet, so the question was in regards to the cpu that supports: pci 1x16 or 2x8,
while my gfx in sli would mean 2 pci-e x16 cards?
