The FX 9590, but the i7 4770K beats it in BF4

 

The FX 9370, but the i7 4770K beats it even harder

 

The FX 8350, but an overclocked 4670K beats it

 

Do you see where I am going here?

What are the top three BEST AMD processors for gaming. I am thinking about going AMD instead of intel and I want to know the best one for gaming. (gaming=BF4).

there are always better ones (for example with intel you can go get an extreme edition), but those are not worth anything at all and merely there for bragging rights. The 9590 etc... exists, but there really isn't much of a point in getting it. You're better off spending more on a gpu and just getting an 8350 if you're going with amd... and honestly unless you're going with an APU for a HTPC build or you're getting a really budget Athlon build or something, I don't see the point in going the AMD route CPU wise.

Go with Intel, there's no point going AMD at this stage.

If you go with that logic there's no point going with either with broadwell right around the corner...and don't buy an nvidia card because gtx8xx is right around the corner too...

 

No that's not my logic. 

 

My logic is that with what is available right now on the market, Intel is better than AMD, hence, don't go AMD.

I didn't want to give more information because then the responses would be somewhat biased. I was thinking AMD because it is cheaper and mantle and all that. But I guess I will be sticking with intel, they have a larger variety of motherboards anyway.
