[Twelve]

I'm going to be building a PC and I'm stuck between which one i should get. Lmk what's better. Top or bottom

This is going to be used for designing and gaming

Didn't really specify what you were going to be using it for, but, I'd say the first one, the specs are almost identical as far as I can tell, and it's cheaper. If you can, I'd wait for a little more money to upgrade RAM to 2 X 8GB as 2 X 4GB really isn't enough anymore.

The first one, but honestly, I'd drop the whole Athlon thing and get an i3.

It's a newer processor, for a tad bit more, but also it leaves the possibility of dropping 200ish on an i5, without having to change the motherboard.

why not just spend a little more, i dont think this pc will last.

He needs to drop dat athlon its 2 old ;-;.

So much better and newer hardware for around the same price point.

I would rather get the 2nd PC tbh, you also need to upgrade some stuff.

Twelve have you decided on anything my man?

Retard... At his price point, 8gb of RAM is more than enough. I would consider upgrading the power supply for sure.

Not exactly sure. Since I didn't sell my MAC yet I'm still just looking at builds

Lol no offense, but this build isn't that good. If you want a high performance gaming cpu always go with Intel over AMD, unless you are on a budget. Do not be fooled by "8 cores and 4.0GHZ processors" That does not mean they are necessarily better than another processor which is a common misconception. I could help you with a much better build, just tell me your budget and I'll build you something a lot better.

Second one will probably be better, but as many others have said already some of your picks are outdated and wont give you the best results for your money.

Second build isn't awful, but PLEASE get an SSD, and potentially an external/backup drive. SSD will load your shit faster, which I personally enjoy when designing.

I don't think they're aiming for a high end PC. By the looks of the builds they're trying to stay within an entry level/average build.

You'll need to spend at least 600-800, just save a bit more.

I wasn't meaning at his price point, I was meaning if he was to come into a little extra money it would be worth upgrading to 16, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Humm not quite sure they both seem great

What's your budget and how much would you want to spend on the case?
