ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: so those are the two systems im thinking of, now ive also heard that AMD can use ram over 1333 even if i get 1600 is this true? and as you can see its about a 300-400 price difference but what do you guys recommend? do you think i can do better with my systems? also all prices are in Australian dollar ($AUD) ...also i was thinking if i do go with the AMD i will be able to afford a SSD and use that hd for gaming and the regular hd for storage....so what are your thoughts guys?
