Intel vs Amd

[RavingSmurfGB]

Hi im at a bit of a cross roads here my two builds are:

 

intel core i7 3770k

MSI Z77A-GD55 Intel Z77 Corsair Builder Series CX 600w Modular Patriot (2x 4GB) Intel Extreme Masters Dual Memory Module Kit

 

Zalman z11 

 

wd green 1tb

 

This costs £387 ( im getting the i7 very cheap from a friend)

 

Amd fx 8320

MSI 970A-G46

Every thing else the same and this comes to £392

 

I am going to be using this for gaming hosting a server and video editing I think the intel would be better and cheaper but i friend convinced me to ask

 

If you think i should change anything just say oh and i will be upgrading my graphics card hence the 600w psu

The 3770K would definitely not be cheaper in terms of value.

[ERSCreeper]

The intel i7 is a better bet. And get a better case.

3770K.

"I am going to be using this for gaming hosting a server and video editing" Hyper-threading would help I guess.

So will the Octacore...

If you will be streaming, the 8350 will be a lot better.

The most important thing of all, DO NOT BUY a WD green as an OS drive. They are made for storage, they are horribly slow. Get a WD Blue / Black or a Seagate Barracuda.

It would, but in terms of what you get from the 3770K, its performance per dollar is far below that of the 8320.

I've seen the WD green drive reviews. The newer ones are about as fast as my Blue.

The OP said the 8320.

5400 rpm and autosleep, not recommended for OS, not even by WD =P

Here atleast the Barracuda and the WD are about the same price, and the Barracuda is a safer bet for an OS drive.

 

The OP said the 8320.

 

Oh, sry, still my point stands, and to OC the 8320 to a 8350 can be done easily.

[delet my acc pls]

do not get a msi gd65 (you wrote gd55) get a msi g45 instead the only difference is that the gd65 have more pci slots and more sata ports

[RavingSmurfGB]

the msi g45 has a brown pcb no thanks

[Xelithium]

Intel all day unless you are on a budget. AMD has great stuff for people who have a very limited budget.

[RavingSmurfGB]

I do but as i said i am getting the 3770k from a friend he is selling it to me dirt cheap

[RavingSmurfGB]

The intel i7 is a better bet. And get a better case.

What would you recommend for £50
