Hello!

I am a PC gamer looking to get back into it (my old PC died/ has been outdated for a while) and a first time custom gaming PC builder and wanted some input on two potential builds for a PC that I have picked out. The main difference between the 2 is the graphics card. One has a Radeon R9 270x and the other a GTX 760. Is the performance from the 760 worth the about $50 price difference? My budget is anywhere from $750 ~ $900. I was hoping for an overall input on the 2 builds and if either one is needing something that I do not have or has components that may not be recommended and which build would be the best to go with for a mid-range gaming pc for someone who is new to this. I would really appreciate your input!

Here are the two builds:

Thank you! :)

Personally i'd go with the 760, unless you want to utilize mantle in the future, then go with the AMD

Thanks! That's what I was thinking too.
