It would not be better to go with AMD. if anything just upgrade to a i7 xeon (xeon with hyper threading eg. 1230v3) .

Hey guys,

Im building a PC on an AUD budget of 1600. I currently have a intel 15 4460 as my CPU but was wondering if it would be better to go with an AMD? I have a GTX 970 Graphics card and 8 gigs of ram. THis pc will be used for gaming, but also minimal video editing and photoshop.

------------------Hope This Helps------------------

I love AMD, but intel is your best option. I would get another 970 for sli then maybe a better intel processor and overclock it

Amd CPUs aren't very strong. The 9590 is the strongest chip they got and the i7-4770k beats it.

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

I think you meant an Intel i7 and an Intel Xeon CPU ;). There is no i7 Xeon. :P

Absolutely! The CPU also has a max turbo boost of 20GHz. Quite an amazing CPU. The RAM, well, being DDR5, runs @ 7444MHz. Quite mind blowing...really! :P

Now...that is kind of a confusing comment :huh:. You'd either say "It's just come out." or "Its coming out tomorrow". ;):D
