New steambox computer

Okay which is the better build?

AMD FX-8320

Possible Build 1 (AM3 build)

CPU - Phenom II X6 (already own, coming out of main build and will be replaced by 8320 or 8350 or 9370 in my desktop;depending on the price on black friday.)

GPU - GTX 580 (already have will get a new gpu on black friday to go in desktop which would work with onboard video for crossfire

Mobo (has to be itx am3 already have a itx case) - zotac 880GITX-A-E or ASUS M4A99T-I

OS - windows 8.1, will dual boot with steam os when it comes out.

Drive - LG BluRay DL RW, 500GB 5400RPM Toshiba HDD, SSD (get on black friday)

Cooling - Liquid

Memory - 8gb Corsair Vengance

 

 

 

Possible Build 2 (FM2/+)

CPU - A10-6800k 4.1ghz (black friday, but wouldnt be getting the replacement cpu for desktop as id be keeping my 1090t in the desktop.)

Mobo - MSI FM2-A75IA-E3 (already own, may return as reviews on new eggs arent the best) or any other good FM2 or FM2+ motherboard that is ITX for my current case.

GPU - Eventually get one for this to run in crossfire. I'd sell my 580 to help pay for a solid gpu to go into my desktop which would be paired with my 1090t

OS - windows 8.1, will dual boot with steam os when it comes out.

Drive - LG BluRay DL RW, 500GB 5400RPM Toshiba HDD, SSD (get on black friday)

Cooling - Liquid

Memory - 8gb Corsair Vengance

There are no itx AM3+ mobos (and no AM3+ m-atx mobos there are just older AM3 mobos with bios updates with crap vrms not not suitable for AM3+ 8 cores)

fm2+ or intell(a better way to go at the moment antll next year +maybe+ when the new APU's and athlons made from these APU's are out)
