Need help deciding amd build vs intel build

[Musawar]

I need help deciding between an amd build vs an intel build

amd build:

fx 8350
Corsair Hydro Series H115i
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB
2 ASUS Strix Radeon R9 390 8GB
Corsair RMx Series RM1000x 1000W
MSI 970 GAMING motherboard
Corsair Carbide Clear 400C case
240 gb of ssd and 1tb hdd

Intel build:

Intel Core i5-6600K
Deepcool Maelstrom 240 Liquid CPU Cooler
Kingston HyperX Fury Black Series 16GB
ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Corsair Graphite Series 760T case
Corsair RMi Series RM750i power supply
240 gb of ssd and 1tb hhd

Both come around the same price. Just wondering if it would be a smarter choice to go with the intel processor or go with the amd build which has more gpu power.

Don't get a 970, get a 1070, it's much better.

Do that and the intel build is vastly superior.

I think you're wasting money on quite a few parts but... *shrug* depends what's available.

CPU cooler, case and PSU seem overpriced.
Corsair isn't anywhere as good of a brand as they want you to think.

I don't know where you're buying from or what choices you have though.

a prebuilt eh....

well, the wait is worth it really. The 1070 is stronger as the $1200 card from the 970's generation.

And actually you can get NCIX to build a PC for you for only $50 (much cheaper than those other prebuilts, and you get to select better parts)

Thanks a lot I will definitely be leaning toward this build as it is much cheaper as well
