Hello, I've been planning on buying a new gaming pc for recording and uploading to YouTube. I've finally hit my financial benchmark, but I'm down to two very difficult decisions, and I'm wondering if any of you can help me out with my issue. I'm stuck between two customized pcs. One is an AMD Gamer Mage D335 and the other is a Chillblast Fusion Yogsblast computer. I don't really know which computer will show higher performance over the other. Here are the specs:

If you guys can help me out, that would be fantastic, and any other advice is greatly appreciated! :heart::grin:
 
From my understanding ( I'm not very good... ) it's two 1GB 660 Ti cards, which is supposed to allow the two cards to share some of the performance responsibility instead of relying on just one.
 
All I needed to know was if it was 2 or 1. My vote now goes to the top one with the AMD chip. Both CPUs are good, but in the end it all amounts to how much GPU power you have. 2 660ti cards are rather powerful together and scale very well in SLI.

Add an SSD for your boot device and you're good to go. A high end rig without an SSD is a golden turd.
 
Okay! Thank you very much! :)
I added a "Thanks" but I'm not really sure how they work... Anyway, I found your advice extremely helpful!
