AMD, Intel

Go to solution Solved by GeekySole9354,

Put it this way, I can get a 4670K if I want, I was just wondering if it would be better to go with AMD, so my budget is 200€

In that price range you're better off with the 4670K

Up until recently I thought that Intel was the only way to go for gaming, then I watched a few videos, saw the prices and, because I'm going with a AMD GPU, would it be more interesting to get an AMD CPU aswell ?

 

I'm using this computer for gaming and surfing the web nothing else, no recording, no rendering, no animation creation etc...

What would you advise Linus Brains ?

How do you people know what to put here ?

Well, the current line of AMD FX processors are a little old, and the core performance of the AMD processors aren't as good as Intel's CPU.

 

So, you might aswell go with something like a 4670K.

 

But, it is dependant on your budget.

No, it wouldn't be a better option to go with AMD. Intel is the best option.

Depends on prices. I got my 8320 for $130, Compare that to $250 for a 4670K and for me the obvious choice was the 8320. 

Intel i7 3770K [] Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 [] MSI R9 290X 4GB [] 16GB  G.SKILL 2133Mhz [] Crucial MX100 256GB [] WD Black 1TB [] XFX Pro 850W [] Fractal Define R3 [] Func MS-3 R2 [] Corsair K60 []
