Is this PC Rig Any Good?

Hello PC gamers. I'm trying to join your Masterrace :D. I decided on setting out on the quest of building my own gaming rig and yet had reached multiple impasses. Mostly around price and hardware, as usual. Anyway I was wondering if you could take a look at two rigs I was debating between. Basically which is the best for my money. Rig 1(Cheaper):http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jxZ4RB Rig 2(Expensive[er?]:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Zg2NG If there is anything you would change let me know. Also what games will I be able to play and at what settings and frames? Thirdly, Do you recommend I get something completely different, spend more, spend less,etc? Lastly, which color setup do you prefer?(With LEDs of course) Blue, Green, or Red?

    • I really like black and red themes for my pc. The more expensive one will run your games better, but the cheaper one is still a console killer! If frame rates and graphics isn't your #1 priority, then I would get the cheaper one. Save some of that extra money for the Steam Summer Sale!

      • What's your budget? But between those two builds I would probably say the more expensive one is more bang for your buck. Both builds could use a better power supply, and I would also switch the 970 to an AMD r390. It has better performance for a little bit cheaper. And I'd also recommend an i5 6500. On a side note, do you plan on overclocking?

        Get the more expensive one, it will give you the most for your money and it will last longer. Edit: Also, you might want to consider switching the GTX 970 with an R9 390. The 390 has 8GB of VRAM compared to the 970's 3.5GB and it performs slightly better for around the same price.

          If you have the money, go for the expensive one. I can tell you from experience that the AMD FX 8320 is a horrible processor, even for a low budget one. I upgraded it to an i7-4790k, which is the equivalent of the i5-4690k, and my performance doubled without needing to change the graphics card(I have a 760). I suggest you get a water cooler system and a case that has enough space for it.

        • I guess technically, you'll get the most bang for your buck out of the cheaper one. But know this, the 970 is a far superior gpu than the 960.
