So I'm pretty sure I've finalized my upcoming build, I'm hoping President's Day can hook me up with some sales!

What do we think? Questions / Comments / Concerns are welcome, I like multiple educated opinions

This is my 3rd personal build so I'm still learning a lot

I'm going to O/C (ASUS has excellent info on their site for Overclocking with their boards)
Dual SLI not too far down the road which is why the large PSU.
Red / Black color scheme

Corsair fanboy status?¿ Maybe... might even go with Corsair for my keyboard too, we'll see

And yes, I'm aware of the GTX 970 jazz and it doesn't concern me in the least, but I will wait and see what happens in light of the recent findings. Maybe it'll drop in price...

Thanks for looking

At that price point, you should be going with Intel.

I'm revolving around my current 8350, I'm sure you noticed. Everything marked purchased on my PCpartpicker list are items I already have, and have owned for a little over a year now, so I'm looking to make some changes with what I've got.

I am selling some parts to a buddy but not the 8350 cause he's goin' the Intel route. But I'm open to suggestions or an Intel build

Show me your list with the parts you already have, please.

Parts I'm currently using ---> http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sikis/saved/B3KG3C

I'm selling the Memory and GTX 760.

I have some rando Seagate 500GB HDD from like 7 years ago I'm obviously looking to replace

And I'm just rockin' the stock cooler on my 8350, it's loud but stays fairly cool as I just leave it @ 4.0 w/ an open case.

Looking for a BluRay OD as well, possibly such as... http://pcpartpicker.com/part/lg-optical-drive-wh16ns40

I'll check these out momentarily thank you for your time

If you're still inquiring about the BluRay, I just wanna be able to watch BluRays and burn them if I so desire.

Between the 2 builds, you feel Intel is superior, that your point when referring to my price point?

Depends on what you're doing, but you can end the discussion by spending $100 more for an i7-4970k on the Intel build and selling the 8350.

Alternatively, you could go for a blue build....

The way i look at it, and im no expert, but if youre spending under $1000, cant go wrong with either intel or amd, but if youre going over $1000, it should 9/10 be intel


thats how i look at it
