Posted February 27, 2015 Dat 6 core thoughYes, but they are different architectures so core count and clock speed are irrelevant. With a budget like that get an I5. Or if you want lots of threads (kinda like cores) get the Xeon 1230(1) V3 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 27, 2015 the FX 6300 is a good gaming cpu friend and the FX 6350 is even better (is the one that Linus use in his 4K built) B) CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 27, 2015 I want an SSD and a good GPU though you can fit an SSD and a good GPU with an i5 in a $1k budget just ask for a build with those components in the "new builds and planning" section and someone will give yo a parts list NEW PC build: Blank Heaven minimalist white and black PC Old S340 build log "White Heaven" The "LIGHTCANON" flashlight build log Project AntiRoll (prototype) Custom speaker project Spoiler Ryzen 3950X | AMD Vega Frontier Edition | ASUS X570 Pro WS | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB | NZXT H500 | Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 | Custom loop | Coolermaster SK630 White | Logitech MX Master 2S | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB + 970 Pro 512GB | Samsung 58" 4k TV | Scarlett 2i4 | 2x AT2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lack a bit of self-awareness "friend". Even if I were to look past that, the comment is still false. $1000 build, squeeze in a locked i5. You'll thank yourself later.

Posted February 27, 2015 wow, just like that you attack me ? lol i smell a fanboy in you friend :lol: <snip> I don't think it was an attack, just generally someone whos name and avatar are AMD related *may* not be completely free of bias themself. Also that 4K rig was made to run CS:GO and League etc at 4K, plus at 4K its more GPU bound, it's not the best video to represent AMD CPUs and gaming performance IMHO.

Crucial MX100 128GB for $65 would be better. You'll also need at least one 140mm case fan (two would be better) since the S340 has no front intake fans out of the box. Why the i5 over the FX-8350?
