[krakunster]

Hey.
i'm getting a new PC around january. My problem is I got 2 builds ready, but i dont know which is better.

The 1st one:

Corsair 8GB KIT PC3-14900 DDR3-1866 CL9 Vengeance

Some 650W PSU

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Z77

Intel Core i5 3570 4x3.40GHz So1155 Box Ivy Bridge

Some 60€ case

Hyper 212 EVO


The 2nd build:

Corsair 8GB KIT PC3-14900 DDR3-1866 CL9 Vengeance

Some 650W PSU

Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7970 3GB GDDR5

AMD 8350

Some AM3+ MOBO for ~70€

Some case for ~ 70€

Hyper 212 EVO


Both builds come around 800-850€.
Dont need HDD or SSD, I just need an opinion which build to take.
Thanks

build #1 hands down
make sure you get i5 3570K --------- with K for unlocked cpu
and DDR3-1866 ---> intel favors ddr3 1600

people will tell you how intel i5 performs far better than AMD in GAME and still consumes less power
8350 will only win in some cases, heavy video rendering etc

Are you gonna be overclocking? What's your budget? Do you need OS?

Not that much, but I will. 800-850€. No need for OS.
