If you have these 2 to chose from and can't make changes, I would personally go for the AMD one. Just from a price-to-performance standpoint and to be honest, that i5 is not much to have in terms of doing more than one thing at the time (4cores and no hyper-threading vs 8 cores). But if you only care about raw gaming performance, it doesn't make a big difference, just that the AMD option is more versatile. TL;DR: It doesn't make a huge difference in gaming performance but the AMD one takes it for affordability and versatility (multi-tasking thanks to many cores). Hope it wasn't too complicated  And for the fans question, if the case comes with fans and you're not going to overclock, you'll be fine without extras. |

I only want to game and watch videos on it, no rendering, no image processing etc.  This is what I found. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I wanna make a good choice since I'm spending over 700€ for it  and 20fps sounds promising |

That's fine, if you want to spend more money to get 20 more fps it's up to you, I just wanted to let you know that multi-tasking is much better on the AMD one and I figured you wanted the option to in the future do the things you mention that you won't do now. Not trying to force you into anything, just telling you what I would choose if I were you. (And also, over 60 FPS doesn't really make a big difference, atleast to me. Again, just my opinion.)

Fps increase is 24%, while cost increase is only 8%. Plus, I get a lower TDP (84W instead of 125W). Would you recommend a different CPU cooler? |

If you're going to overclock, Yes, if not, No. The stock coolers will do you fine if you're not overclocking, if you'd want to get into that ballgame you'd basically have to use an after-market cooler because it's just simply better. I wouldn't worry too much about the TDP to be honest because as I mentioned before, if you're not overclocking the stock coolers are fine.

The 4570 is not overclockable, Intel locked them from Ivy Bridge(I think?) onwards. |

Yes. I am aware of that. I was talking about the AMD 8350. Cuz that thing overclocks, but it puts out shitloads of heat so if you want to overclock, get an aftermarket cooler such as the Corsair H100i or some other liquid cooler.

My dad needs a new office/multimedia pc, thought of the Difinity 2795. Another option was using the Gigabyte GA-E350N with a LC Power LC-1340mi case and 2x1GB of crucial 1333 MHz CL9 RAM, also a Sandisk 64GB SATA III SSD which I'd put Linux Mint on. 1st one is about 220€, DIY would be 160€. |

If you mean this when saying Difinity, I would go for that, considering if he'd want to use it for multimedia aswell. |

I'm going to have to agree with cloudmcshort here. All things being equal, the AMD system looks like the better option. My only differing opinion would be to go ahead and get a mild aftermarket air cooler, even if you're not going to overclock. It doesn't hurt and could help with the longevity of the CPU. |
