Hmmm, the 3770 is good and the I5-85 looks better even though it lacks an SSD and has an smaller drive but beyond that the I5 is better as it has an 8th Generation CPU and the memory is DDR 4 in which the 3770 is an third Generation CPU uses DDR 3 which is older tech. But what it comes down to is the cost for each. The AMD 8300 I avoided because it is now dated as I do possess an 8350 and 8370. The 3770 is dated as well but the good thing about the I7s they age well and still can pack an punch and I did use the 3770K and had an good time with it. If you do wish to get an SSD or even an bigger HHD you can do so at an later time if you wish. But ultimely it is going to be your choice and you have to choose new tech or old tech and which one is going last the longest and what are the game developers asking for and at least try to get close as you can.
