I had done a lot of research into a new computer build(first time building a computer) People from this site helped a lot. Then I came across a build in tecmo34 thread for recommended builds by usage(very helpful thread by the way they should sticky it as it would help a lot of people out.) Each build is about $200 apart. Just wanting to know because it is getting close to the time for me to order all the parts and build if the $200 is worth it. Here is the first one I researched. http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/ [...] r=10329945

The one from the thread is here. I also upgraded a few things. http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/ [...] er=9187694

The case is out of stock right now(hopefully they will have it when I go to order it) also the RAM is out of stock on the second one(also hope they have it if I decide on that build)

What are you planning on doing with the system? And on what resolution monitor? For most games you wont get much of a performance difference between the two.

For both builds i suggest swapping the PSU out for the 750TX, it provides enough power for 2 4890s easily you dont need the extra provided by the 850tx.

As for the ram, just try to find a CL7 kit of DDR3 ram, preferable 1600 but you wont notice the difference if you go down to 1333 either.
