    Default Which is a better system? Sandy bridge-e vs ivy bridge

    As the title gives away, I need to know which system is better for general gaming with good performance and for use with latest Adobe products

    1st system:
    Is the i7 3820 from pcZone going on special for this week
    http://zones.co.za/
    it's R8000 + R1500 I'm willing to spend on a gtx550 ti or amd radeon hd7770
    Total: R9500

    2nd system:
    This will be built by me. I'll have to order the parts online for it (risky)

    Chassis/Case: Zalman Z9 plus - R572 (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=1576)
    RAM: Team xtreem dark 4GB - R251. (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=6307)
    DVD Drive: LG 24x sata - R173. (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=4121)
    PSU: Antec 550w - R665 (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=1816)
    CPU: i5 3470 -* R1 916. (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=6690)
    HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB - R676. (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=1274)
    Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G43 - R1186. (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=5700)
    Graphics Card: Sapphire HD7770 OC - R1479. (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php...oducts_id=4409)

    Total: R6 991 (incl. delivery)


    Am willing to spend the extra money because I will be able to visit the actual shop(I never shipped online before)

    Do you think I should go with the pcZone one or is it overpriced?



    EDIT:
    The 2nd system will stay under R7500
    And I want this system to last me a long time
