AMD Or Intel Build Help!

InfinityCanine · 11 Nov 2014 at 16:31

Hello,
I'm building a Gaming pc and I need some help on which build is the best, I have a Intel i5 build and A AMD A10 build. I dont need a case graphics card or power supply as I'm getting those off a friend. My total budget is £350-£370

Intel build:
Intel core i5 4460 Cpu
Msi gaming 5 motherboard
Corsair Vengeance Low profile 8gb (2x4gb) RAM
1TB seagate Hard Drive

AMD Build
AMD A10-6800k
MSI A88z-G45 Gaming AMD motherboard
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8gb (2x4gb)
1tb seagate Hard drive

I would really appreciate some feedback on these builds and how they could be improved without going over budget. Thanks!

Thanks I will think about getting this instead but, which one would be better without overclocking the i5 4460 or the i5 4690k?

4690k higher benched better OC

what case/gpu/psu are you getting from your friend?

InfinityCanine · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:00

I don't think I'll be overclocking as I have no experience so would getting the 4690K be a waste of money if I'm not going to overclock it?

A zalman z3 plus case, 550w power supply and a 6770 graphics card

tamzzy · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:03

how much are you paying for all of that?

InfinityCanine · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:03

All those parts will be free as he doesn't need them anymore

tamzzy · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:04

just fyi, that you'll need windows as well

InfinityCanine · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:05

Yeah I've already bought a copy of windows 8.1 64 bit

tamzzy · 11 Nov 2014 at 17:08

ok.

if you're not intending to overclock, this would be a much better combination:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus H81M-K Intel Core i5 DIY Micro ATX Motherboard, CPU & RAM Bundle £225.97
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1) £79.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £39.95
1 x Pioneer 24x Internal DVR-221LBK DVD Rewriter - OEM £13.49
Total : £369.00 (includes shipping : £8.00).

256gb ssd for os, programmes and games for uber fast load times
1tb hdd for media files
dvd-rw drive (if you don't need then don't buy it)
all right on budget too =)
