A $1000/less PC Build

Are you deciding to build a computer that is less then $1000. Today I'll be showing two computer builds using Intel and AMD processors. I'll be using Intel if you are one of those people who want to do video rendering, video editing, photo editing and etc. On the other hand I'll be using AMD for more gaming, it's also cheaper and great for overclocking. These two builds can also be switched around if you like the other build for a different purpose.

I've picked the AMD FX-8320 because it has 8 cores and has a pretty decent intergraded GPU. So I chose the XFX ATI Radeon HD6770 because it can run the lastest DirectX 11 games at a good performance. Also with a good processor you got to have a nice looking and great motherboard with awesome features that comes with it. The motherboard is SLI/Crossfire ready that comes with PCI-E 3.0 to have the best performance. This motherboard is also has a good overclocking utility in the BIOS to boost up the APU that I have chosen. For best gaming experience I picked the Corsair Vengeance 8GB model for those who want to play games and record yourself for best multitasking. I went with the Samsung 840 Series for a ultimate fast performs computer without any long wait time, Great boost for when gaming. All of this and you got to have a decent power supply to power up you beast PC so I picked the Antec High Current Pro 80 Plus to drive all that powerful components inside.
