My latest build is a amd setup as I got it dirt cheap, an intel cpu is faster core pe core, but eh, whatever. Running a fx8350 with 8g of ram. a used gtx 770 fancy version, and a 750w power supply along with a samsung 840 evo 128gb ssd It plays everything I want excellent. What kind of gaming do you want, multi monitor 4k, or say 1 monitor lower res? That will determines how much cash you need to toss at your system
