Posted May 1, 2015 As far as i know, the r9 280(x) has a better price/performance ratio than the 960. I would personally go for AMD at this GPU price point, unless you're picky about power consumption. When in doubt: C4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2015 Get haswell i3 and H81 MBO. Get better SSD. And get R9 280x instead of GTX960 unless you plan to record game footage. @Hasterix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2015 Author I have one more question. Why is intel better than AMD for gaming? Linus made a build guide i which he used the FX 6350. Did he only use it because the vid was sponsored by AMD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 1, 2015 I have one more question. Why is intel better than AMD for gaming? Linus made a build guide i which he used the FX 6350. Did he only use it because the vid was sponsored by AMD? Most likely. Also, look at the date of the video. AMD was a good price to performance option a few years ago. Today, that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2015 These guys are right. The 960 isn't a very good choice for its price. AMD cards are a much better option for that price point. I would also support the choice for an Intel CPU over an AMD because... Well... Intel is just better. If you can afford a 1150 socket board, you can leave yourself some upgrade ability for the future. I would suggest Intel's Pentium G3258 thingy. I don't know what socket it is though, but I know it is a very good CPU for the price, and you can over clock the living daylights out of it. All of the suggestions by others are pretty good though. It usually comes down to budget and preference. I'm not SAV1OUR.
