Help me build an Intel system

[vitalious]

Hey guys,

My b-day is coming up and my girlfriend has decided to help me out with a new desktop system.
I'm kind of out of touch with the current technologies and need some advice. I read alot of reviews and benchmarks and pretty much looking for a good bang for the buck. I'm torn between the 1136 and the 1366 really.

Here are the 2 systems I specced out.

System 1:
Video Card Asus EAH4870 DK/HTDI/1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon HD 4870 $185.99
CPU Intel Core i5 750 Quad-Core Socket LGA1156 $239.99
Motherboard Asus ASUS P7P55D PRO $194.99
Memory OCZExtreme XMP DDR3 6GB (3 x 2GB) PC3-12800 $139.99
HD Western Digital Caviar Green (WD10EAVS) 1000GB (1TB) SATA 3 Gb/s 8MB (OEM) $83.99
Case Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Ultimate Gamer Tower Computer Case $119.99
PSU Cooler Master Extreme Power 650W ATX $79.99
CD LG GSA-H55L IDE 20x DVD-Writer(10x Dual Layer) w/SecurDisc LightScibe $34.99

Total $1,079.92
