You really need to take the advice people are giving you, neither will be brilliant.

If it's purely for gaming stretch the budget to an i5.

since then I have been researching a lot and I know that the most of the games I play are gpu intensive so I do not need to spend a lot on my cpu but more on my gpu.

i think this may be my absolute final build but i may change the motherboard as i am still unsure about it.

also would this build be fine if i was going to run crossfire in the future.
the mother board has 1 16x slot and 1 8x slot. will this be a problem for crossfire?
