I need help deciding AND/INTEL

[Mbarton]

Hey guys im getting ready to build (REBUILD) my system.i currently have a AMD am3+ 6100 6 core cpu. but after seeing that amd will be closing that socket i'm thinking of going fm2 or 1150(or whats best i don really know intel) for a good amount of time ill be without a GPU so a APU would be nice.but (and there are allot of but in this) apparently intel cpu`s have integrated graphics to.I have a budget of 150/200USD$ but if you can sell it i might go higher.also as i've been looking around i haven seen any apu with more then 6 cores am i just not finding them or do they not make them.

Definitely AND

[TNortham112]

INTEL (and not just because I am a fan boy)

[DoubleY]

On the lower end, AND is usually better.

I only use AND because Intel is too hard to spell

Actually yeah, good point. Go with AMD, however if you are willing to spend more, then choose intel.

No kidding

I think you meant AND? 

[s3ns3]

with this budget keep your pc. apus are weak . save more for 1150

[Mbarton]

INTEL (and not just because I am a fan boy)

first thing i thought when i saw all caps INTEL (great another fanboy)lol

[IamPaddy]

I have an AMD Apu, whilst being decent and reliable it is a little slow and slugish

[vitor_cut]

for that budget get a fx 8350 or 8320 and your good to go 

 

200$ for a cpu and a mobo you dont get much of upgrade, just get a better fx processor

or get 400 $ and go for a z97+ core i5 k config

If you plan to go use integrated graphics you should know that AM3+ processors like the FX 6300 that you are looking into doesn't have that feature, neither do the 8-core ones that some of the others are suggesting. There is no integrated graphics on those chips and you will definitely need to buy a graphics card. Only APUs on the AMD side feature a graphics processor onboard. On the other hand the entire Intel's 1150 line up has that option. The graphics of the APUs are much better than Intel's solution, but the general performance of an APU is slower.

I am genuinely confused, you mean AMD right, or are you just taking the piss?

[Enderman]

AND is great, but most people go for OR instead.

I'm making fun of the OP... I'm a bad person

[ForsakenLive]

You can get an FX 8320 and keep your mobo, FM2 is for APUs, not for people with dedicated GPUs. If you have more $ and want more performance go Intel

 

AND Master race (?

Ooooh I get it, your not bad... your funny. I like laughing at other peoples expense

[Mbarton]

what should my budget be for 1150 (i do want a mid-high end cpu) and would that cpu be able to play any games like a APU?

[WyvernAbstracts]

what's wrong with your 6100? is it letting you down? if not just buy a gpu.

will be a very good cpu for a long time. the igpu is good for gaming at low-med

your misunderstanding (not trying to be rude) i already have that cpu and i know it doesn't have a integrated gpu.thats why im thinking of going APU or intel

Thank you for posting

Thats not bad and it only has to hold me off until i save for a really good gpu (200/400 range)

if you want a smaller board the price goes down like 20$.the i5 doesn`t bottleneck no gpu.the apu will. so if you will add a dedicated gpu,go intel for sure

[Mbarton]

But if you can't save more get a MVidia (ha... sorry :mellow:) GTX750 and a new PSU (saw that "generic" PSU in your profile )

That'll be far away better than your onboard graphics ._.

Like this:

You're here <--------------*8 Million Light-years*----> Oh hi!

 

Another 4 GB stick of RAM would be plenty if you fit it in your budget

 

***JUST A SUGGESTION***:

Supper thank you for that detailed response.and umm... i was stupid to get that generic PSU (IK) it surged on the 2 i got the same way. im now saving for a corsair one a good one.

id get another 4gb stick but they say mixing ram is a bad idea and i kinda want 16/32 but ill probably end up getting another 4gb stick until i have enough for a good kit

[Mbarton]

if you want a smaller board the price goes down like 20$.the i5 doesn`t bottleneck no gpu.the apu will. so if you will add a dedicated gpu,go intel for sure

I think that tipped the scale.ill be getting the cpu you recomend or a higher end one and as for the motherboard that the first thing im buying (because im modding my case for th 24-pin and stuff)so i got to find the perfect one.

 

 

Thanks allot for your help.

[Mbarton]

I've mixed RAM, sticks will use the lowest frequency and highest latencies form the "worst" stick

 

Wait a moment, I'll take a look for any RAM deals

 

EDIT: *hhhhhnnggggg* GPU in combo... but $13 out of budget...
