[harharri]

Im going to be making a gaming rig and cant decide whether to go for a 4790k or a 9590 all I need to know is which will give the best performance nothing else thats all taken care of.

Gaming? 4790k maybe... Depends on your budget.

4790k hands down for single core performance

[Shaqo_Wyn]

4790K.

[harharri]

This is what it will be with http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/WKFKkL

i5-4690k for gaming

[Speedbird]

i5-4690k for gaming

Exactly.

[harharri]

Just between them 2 please I dont need anything else

[Jamdude]

Absolutely the 4790k, why are you getting that and 32GB of RAM though?

4690k for gaming, but if you're playing games that need more threads, then go with 4790k... Even though i'm somewhat an AMD fan, they don't make good high-end CPU's (scratch that, they don't make any high-end CPU's), so for any CPU over 150$, go with Intel

[Recon97]

If you have money,then ALWAYS choose Intel processors if you are on budget then AMD.

Go for i7 4790K.It's meant for gaming and light media creation.

Yeah what got me thinking is that if I dont get a great 4790k I cant overclock it but even if its good its average oc is 4.4 so the AMD would be faster

Clock speed isn't everything, if you're only gaming then get the 4690k and 16GB of RAM.

[Mr.Reggin]

intel i5 with a 250GB SSD or 500GB SSD

Ok thanks guys this will be it http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/ygLFHx

If you are only gaming I5-4690K, if you're rendering, video editing etc 9590 BE

[Mixzzz]

As much as I love my FX-8320 I can't seem to understand why the FUCK would you buy 9590? It draws enormous amounts of eletricity and doesn't perform so well. Go for 4790K for sure and if you're gaming, you only need 4690K

you'll find a lot of benchmarks already run with the CPU at stock clocking and

still the i-series is quicker in FPS.

you dumped your PSU and you'll need a mid-tier motherboard.

just get a larger SSD (less RAID system boot issues - slow)

case?
