Hey guys. I'll be getting a new computer soon, a custom one.... I've no experience with custom ones so I need a little help
I've basicly made two computers to my liking and already made a thread about one of them and have had good feedback about it.....
But then came along AMD.
So now I'm stuck with which one to get. I can save a nice bit of money if i go with the AMD one, so it means for the same price I can have a few upgrades on things like CPU heat sinks ect.
Below I have the specs of both computers, there pretty much the same except the processors and the AMD has a few better options..
So would I be ok with the AMD rather than the Intel? I will be moderate gaming, playing crysis and the half life series... I'm not looking for the best spec computer possible, just something that will run the games smoothly with nice graphics.

As you can see the AMD is cheaper, but is that a bad thing?
Thanks
