Nothing on the above PC has anything to do with ASUS, ASUS and Asetek are two different companies.

Ps. I am an Amd fan but i'm just being realistic.
No matter look at the potential that the second build brings, though games only optimize up to a quad core, the FX-8120 has something similar to hyper-threading meaning spreading the resources among the cores, so it extends the lifetime of the CPU. The AMD one is cheaper and that opens up more possibilities, especially in the context that with the money in between he can buy a better Graphics Card, so he is not bottlenecking the crap out of a decent CPU. Its not necessarily a bad thing, AMD is always priced under Intel for the reason that you get what you pay for. AMD trades off a Price to Performance ratio that Intel does not offer. Instead you are given a higher price on the basis of a higher quality product. Benchmarks show in an application setting that both the FX-8120 and the mentioned i5 are on par in the application settings, as well as being fairly equal on the gaming level.
