Hey, I'm working on a budget for this build of mine... and I was hoping someone could give a list of differents between the two... it looks like the acrylic has tempered glass of sorts and an extra fan. I am unsure which to get or if I should get something else entirely. (Preferably a phanteks case, because from experience they were the best for me)

Incorrect, an i7 7700 will far outperform a 7600k, especially given the multi-threaded nature of games nowadays.

Thanks for the response (in a very timely manner also I may add) I guess because I'm not running everything RGB just a strix E board and the tiny dot on my RX 470 I should stick too the normal pro m.. I'm replacing stock fans too, forgot to mention that earlier. Thanks for the help.

Yeah I was just saying 7600k because it looked like he wanted an i5 build. I was thinking of suggesting an r5 1600 build but I was on my ipad and it makes pcpartpicker a pain. @OP Chugalug_s builds are good, he's the master of prices from what I've seen. I would seriously consider the ryzen build if you don't want to spend for the i7 but depending on what else you do besides gaming like streaming or video rendering you might want to consider the 1600 for its 6 cores.
