So first off I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to building a computer so this is all guess work and I would really appreciate any help you can offer. This is what I have come up from a bit of research by molding a few other build guides into one. I willing to spend a few hundred more if it is really going to be a lot better of a machine and will last that much longer.
the other question I had is that I have had multiple people telling me to go with an AMD card and that most pople follow intel for brand loyalty and I can get a lot more bang for my buck running an 8 core AMD for cheaper. Is this something I should look into?
ex: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819113285
And that since the new consoles will be running 8 cores developers are going to start utilizing all the cores where as previously they were not. anywho... below are a few builds i cooked up. Please make any changes or recommendations as you see fit.
