I'd go for the AMD, cheaper and much more powerful

alright, thanks man! :2thumbsup:

Both are very Powerful, but What features are you looking for,
AMD will allow More power And sustains more Watts for the cores and can provide more cores for multi Processing. Amd also provides good overclock options, Only downfall of AMD, if you dont have proper cooling, It can destroy itself.

Intel Can provide power per core almost as well as AMD, but uses less watts and provides less GHz And Reaction times *sometimes Miminal* Showing up when you open to many things, or leave it on for to long Its mainly used in Apple product's which is normally for editing, But not normally gaming, It can provide what you need But in my opinion AMD is better


**** EDIT ****

RAM PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN THIS TOO
the ram needs to be good voltage and size... the 1600 Is Great and you picked a Great Brand, Just make sure your getting Voltage too, in this case you have 1.5V which is Amazing

**** EDIT ****

Made a few changes to the intel build

on your point on AMD and Intel,m what are you on about?
"Intel Can provide power per core almost as well as AMD, but uses less watts and provides less GHz And Reaction times" Intel has HIGHER single core performance than AMD and is more efficient, hence the less watts being used. However, clock speed comparison between the two vendors is stupid.
"Only downfall of AMD, if you dont have proper cooling, It can destroy itself" Every CPU needs cooling, and every CPU (apart from a handful) comes with a cooler that is good enough to keep the CPU cool....

How will the pentium stack up compared to the i3 i was looking at? & how much better is the amd card compared to the nvidia i chose?

thanks for changing things up, i've only really geen looking at those nVidia cards due to wanting OS X.

I've already checked compatability with the games i wanna play on OS X and i wont really have any issues.

Pretty much every game i want to play works on OS X, if there's anything which dooesnt work on OS X which i want ill just get it on the xbox
