I would personally switch out the 270x, partly because Powercolor isn't that great of a brand and that the GTX 760 ranks a little higher. Instead of that, I would go with the GTX 760 from EVGA, only $20 more

calebwiebolt11ya i have an i5 and it works great. i always go with intel processors because i do alot of 3d rendering.

Sorry to break it to you, but 3D rendering is done by the GPU.[/quote]
i am awear fo this also but it still requires a good quality cpu[/quote]

Actually, you're both wrong. Not directly, though. I assume RiotShielder misread it as you want to render 3D objects in games faster, which is on the GPU. All the CPU really does is to read code, so a better CPU would execute things faster and smoother. To work with rendering 3D objects in software such as, for example, Maya or Blender you'll need both decent GPU and CPU, but to render the finished product and same it onto your harddrive is processed by the RAM.[/quote]
oo he thought i ment games. i do alot of work in blender.

I was proving that you don't need to own something to know what's better. What I "hear" from relatives with computer science majors and what I read online from extremely credible sources are more than enough to judge which is better.

You brought up experience, so I told you, that you have none with either one. And lol, just because they major in something, doesn't make them 100% right all the time, does it? Since Obama is the president, he must always be right, according to you?

Not even close. My point was that you don't need experience in something to know a lot about it. And having a major doesn't make you 100% right all the time, but it's a much more credible source than a kid named "killertoad" on the Planet Minecraft forums. Please don't assume that you know what/how I think.

Can we not argue? Just pick what you think please and if you have something to say about the topic just say it. Please don't fight on the internet it does not solve anything. What are you going to do? Change someones mind for a day and then they will forget about it.

KillertoadSo you have no experience with Intel Vs. AMD yourself? So how'd you know what's good/bad? Exactly you don't. And a bit isn't worth $100. If you can't tell a difference in-game, then why would you pay more? That's just dumb and wreck-less.

FalseTensionLmao. I haven't owned a Lamborghini or a Ferrari but I can still find out their differences. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=AMD+FX+8320+vs.+i5-4670k

Yes, you can google stuff, smart-ass, but that wasn't the question. You don't have experience with either one, so you wouldn't know much, other than what you "hear" and what you read online.

Don't be so naive, Killertoad.
I've had both and I prefer Intel.
While AMD has the fastest processors compared with price, Intel is the choice for a multi-media computer (and pretty much any gaming computer). AMD builds their processors with higher clock speed and larger amount of cores, but Intel is so much more overclockable and are very sturdy.

So what I mean is: AMD has good CPUs but they overheat very easily compared to Intel. Intel also seems like much less than it actually is. AMDs CPUs often come slightly overclocked making their clockspeed seem higher than Intels.

They don't overheat as bad anymore, heck, I've never had one overheat. And maybe they do overclock it a bit, and maybe Intel can overclock a bit better, but still, AMD's is cheaper, for about the same stuff?

Just don't listen to Killertoad, he don't know what he's talking about.

Build B is better and here's why. While build A has a better motherboard, build B has a better processor and will be physically smaller than the other.

If you're planning on overclocking I would HIGHLY suggest that you upgrade your PSU on both builds. While I assume you've selected what you've found necessary the GTX recommends a 600W PSU and with overclocking on top of that it'll knock out the supply planned.

I assume you already have an OS. If not, that's gonna cost you another $100. I'd recommend Windows 8.1 over Windows 7 because 8.1 has a proven increased performance over 7 in gaming. Windows 7 is clearly easier to manipulate but Windows 8.1 would be my choice for this.

Build B is the best imo. You also want to get a Samsung SSD 500GB EVO instead of an HDD

ya i have an i5 and it works great. i always go with intel processors because i do alot of 3d rendering.

The AMD processor one is the best, 8 cores at 3.5 clock speed or 4 cores at 3.4, hands down AMD wins.

It really doesn't matter which. You need a bigger power supply. The minimum for the Graphics card is 500w

A, the people above are fanboys. Why spend more, when it's about the same specs? You won't notice a difference in-game with either setup, so i'd go with the cheaper one.

Build B is the better.

B. Hands down.
