If I go the AMD path, I'll get overclocking, which (correct me if I'm wrong) would help in certain CPU intensive games and video rendering. If I go the Xeon path, I'll get a cheaper price..... Help me choose....

Ok then.

There's an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0..... and an ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX (cheaper)

What about this one? MSI 970A SLI KRAIT EDITION

Sadly, not available..... What 'bout Gigabyte 970A-G43? Or the Gigebyte GA-970A-DS3P? What will I lose if I use a PCI-E 3.0 GPU on a PCI-E 2.0 slot?

So I could go for an FX-8350. Yaay! Any recommendations on the motherboard? Is the Asus M5A97 R2.0 a good board?

So if I want to reduce my budget, I can buy the FX-8350?

So if I were to use an APU what should I choose? (near the Xeon's performance ofc)

After watching Linus' video on the 8-core Gaming Rig Showdown, I wondered if switching to an AMD FX-8350 would be better than the Xeon E3 1231v3. (In video editing and casual games) Plus an AM3+ motherboard is cheaper and the APU itself is cheaper than the Xeon.... Would it be much of a difference? And would Crossfire between the iGPU on the APU and an R9 380X be helpful in video editing and games? And if the FX-8350 is that much of a competitor, suggest one that might be worthy..... Thanks.

AMD A6 6400K MSI A68HM-E33 V2 Kingston 4GB DDR3 Value RAM 2 x WD Blue 500GB Cooler Master N200 SeaSonic M12II-520 EVO Just a basic budget NAS..... Pretty sure the processor chosen can handle being a NAS right?

Trying to find one that is possibly faster than the Xeon E3 1231v3. Possibly in the same price range.....

Referring to the above topic...... Which is better? (Video editing terms.....) Factor in everything about the processors....

maybe there's an application that has done this.

What photo viewer are you using?

The Seagate is my current PC's HDD. and i realise that I would need an extra 1TB.
