HELP ON GAMING RIG

[want2beacpgeek]

Hi Guys,
I just had a question for you about a gaming rig i want to build. what would be better?

ASUS CROSSHAIR IV
PHENOM II X6
CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT

or

ASUS RAMPAGE III EXTREME
INTEL QUAD CORE i7 960
CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT

i already have a graphics card HD 5750 until i can upgrade to something more in the 58XX or 59XX

Neither of those are gaming builds.

i5-750 ~200$
Decent x8/x8 P55 mobo ~130$
4GB G.skill ram ~98$

1055tx6 178$
880g mobo 110$
G.skill ram 98$

Those are gaming builds.

really? lol.. what would those builds be then?

Overpriced builds with too much focus on the CPU.
The CPU is going to be limited by the 5750, for $1200 you can make a far better build and get a new graphics card (or 2).
