Good AMD CPU

[Tole2378]

So I'm tired of Intel and I'm looking for a good amd CPU, any suggestions?

the FX-8350 is the best AMD though.

Intel is just flat out better for single threaded performance and i7s have 8 threads anyway. How can you be tired of a brand of CPU. Thats like saying "I am tired of the company who manufactures the wheels of my car".

FX9590 is the best right now....

 

But its a OCed Fx8350 ofc..

Get Intel dude. They produce best CPU's. AMD is step backward.

it's the best terms in speed, but price, heat output and power usage it's the worse, so therefore the 8350 is better.

I take this as the price is the only difference.

 

If you have a Fx8350 and OC to 5 ghz then you will get same issues, correct me if i am wrong, But ifc 9590 is not worth the extra 100 USD

AMD! I love AMD. Well FX 8350 of course and if you got the money, get the mighty FX 9590! Don't listen to the intel fanboys, you get all the performance you need with AMD.

[Tole2378]

Lemme rephrase question around 210$

generally yes, and you may not eb\even reach 5Ghz, so you are essentially paying for the extra OC. If one doesn't overclock then the 8350 will produce less heat, etc.

Well if you're searching for performance. Go with Intel. If you want compromised performance at a low price tag then it's AMD. The CPU for AMD that I recommend is the FX-8350. And for Intel I recommend the i5-4670k. If you want the best experience go with Intel. Because it has less but stronger cores. Gaming only uses 4 cores at the maximum, therefore Intel's stronger cores would provide better performance.

Well, I hope all this helps.

Not trying to be rude but, the motherboard's too much an overkill and crossfire... well then you have scaling problems. You might be better off with a single but powerful card

since this is amd any suggestions?

[Xquisite]

You could be better off with an AMD 290(if you can find it). If you can't find the 290, then 270x's crossfired would be fine. But there are more benefits in a single 290

how about dual 290's?
