So I have two builds lined up and to keep this as short and sweet as possible since there are probably a thousand threads similar to this any help would be awesome! and lets try to do this without starting the AMD vs Intel war.
Intel: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hoodys/saved/FzMXsY
AMD: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hoodys/saved/8nnXsY
I really enjoy AMD but everywhere I look I never see a reason to take it over Intel and I do understand that Intel just does have less cores but more powerful but often more spendy.
So I was wondering would I see a reasonable difference between the two, could they both run battlefield 4 or arma 3 at max or near max settings at 1920 x 1080? Thanks in advance.
Also any suggested changes to the builds are welcome!

This would be better than either of them. Far better GPU.
