I am planning on making a $500-$550 Gaming PC. I have two builds narrowed down to all Amazon items. I need help deciding which to get and if they are good.
If you have a better $500-$550 Gaming PC make a PCPartPicker, and please try to keep it all Amazon. (No APUs)
Also I'm going to use SODIMM to DIMM converters since I have 16GB DDR3-1866 in my PC currently. And I have hard drives already
Option #1: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/xQG/saved/dPn8TW
Option #2: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/xQG/saved/BV7p99
Please give honest feedback on both the builds
Also forgot to mention Im trying to play DayZ Standalone, Arma 2: Combined Operations, Minecraft, GMod, War Thunder, Etc....
Thank you
