Graphics Card: A: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card or B: AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card
Hard Drive: A: 2TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64M Cache 7200rpm Hard Drive(no idea what make) or B: 2TB Seegate Hybrid Gen3 SATA-III 6.0Gb/s Cache 5400RPM SSHD

8350
Get a 7950 twin frozr instead of the 760
2TB 7,200 RPM
For the 8350, I would recommend getting an ASUS M5A99x Pro R2.0 Motherboard I'll be using this so I can say it iS reliable |

do it through pcpartpicker
i can already tell this is either cyberpowerPC or iBuyPower
unless you aren't allowed to do it yourself, I'd suggest building it you'll save a lot of money

I concur with using PCPartPicker.
It gets you the best prices for components and finds combos, deals, MIRs, etc.

| Also, answering your question, The 8350 is obviously better. The GTX 760 performs better over the 7870. I'm not sure if a 5400RPM SSHD will be better than a 7200RPM HDD. |

The only parts of building a PC you're gonna need steady hands with is inserting the CPU and plugging in small cords into the mobo such as PWM cables.
