AMD-
FX-8320 OC'd to 4.3GHz
Zotac GTX 780 amp!
Sabertooth 990FX Motherboard
H100i CPU cooler
ATX Form Factor
~$1200
Intel-
i5-4670k OC'd to 4.5GHz
Zotac GTX 780 amp!
MSI Gaming Motherboard (Can't remember which one)
Mini-ITX Form Factor
H100i CPU cooler
~$1500
AMD Pros:
Cheaper
More room for extra graphics cards
Better cooling options (for Custom cooling down the road)
Can run most games smooth on ultra
Intel Pros:
Better performance
Portability (love the Corsair 250D)
Can run any game smoothly
These are the final two builds I'm looking at getting. Just looking for a few more expert opinion. Thanks!

As long as the card doesn't melt then I'm fine with it. For the noise, being somewhat noisy isn't all that much of a problem to me.Aright then I would definitely go for the Intel one. Just make sure you keep an eye on the system's temperatures although I doubt you will have any problems. Don't forget that as temps go up hardware find it more difficult to cope and subsequently performance drops.

Well I am personally more towards Intel so I second that. Also, Zotac is good, but there are better brands. I have an MSI 780 OC edition and it is one of the coolest and less noisy 780s in the market. Also, it has one of the best price/performance ratios of the 780 series. Have a look yourself:

I'll probably add in some custom LED fans later to increase air flow and have some fancy effects
