Help with choosing cpu
Go to solution
Solved by i_build_nanosuits,
don't overclock anything and relax...leave all that money to watercool the old fx cpu and the expensive motherboard right there on the table and focus a second...you will be playing games i'm sure...and this kit is much better than ANY overclocked AMD FX CPU in that regards...and once you've factored in a cpu cooler...overclocking ready motherboard...extra cost on your electric bills...you'll end up paying less with this intel i5:Also sorry i forgot to mention i WILL BE OVERCLOCKING to the max

the FX can only dream of such gaming performance even if ''you WILL BE OVERCLOCKING it to the max'' it still won't quite make it.
