Bit of mixture in terms of performance, but with the Intel you have less power usage and a inbuilt GPU.

Also you have the option to upgrade to a 4790 CPU if you want a extra performance boost.

Great, thank you. I think Ill go with the AMD however.

Can you do me a favour and confirm all I have selected is compatible?

Kind Regards.
 
I did the the review against the 8350 and not the 8320, the i5 matches and if not beats the 8320 in various benchmarks and personally I would go with this option.

On your build I would go for the Crucial SSD and a slightly better cooler.

Right, so Ive finally narrowed it down.

It's going to be one of these two.

I built these two systems, this is going to be my first build so I'm looking for advice which will be the best system and best value for money? Could anybody reccommend parts that will work better for cheaper, and are the all compatible with each other.

Finally, am I missing any vital parts from any build? Or do I have every thing and I am good to go?


I want to play Arma 3, PGA, GTA5, Battlefield, Star Wars, Star Citizen & Football Manager series.

Need it to run smooth and fast, doesn't have to have the toppest bestest graphics in the history world, just want to play with my buddy online without it freezing, stuttering and blue screening.

Then get a 250GB SSD. At least. Or HDD will be bottleneck for games.
