As you can see the intel build lacks an SSD, however one can easily be added at a later date :)
 
so you rec go for the haswell build instead of the ivy bridge build its just that ive heard the haswell gain to much heat.
thanx for the help m8.
 
Yeah no reason to go ivy over Haswell. As for the i5 v the fx6300 option above....both are good value for the money.
 
Yep, Haswell over IB everytime, the heat only comes if you start running lots of volts through it, and it's not like Piledriver is a fridge. :P

I'd personally go for the Intel build over the AMD one, simply for the upgrade path later on and at this level it seems silly not to :)
