AMD or Intel ?

[yassir123]

hey guys ,

I want to buy a new CPU and i want you're opinion of what's best AMD or Intel , it's for gaming only and plz give me some advise about low budget CPU's

AMD FX-8320 will be fine, but get the 8350 if you can afford it. Intel is not designed for budget systems and is more of a premium product and for what you need AMD will be better in terms of performance.

Low budget CPU, AMD for sure. Look for FX-4300 and FX-6300. I would go with FX-6300 as its only few bucks more than FX-4300. If you really want Intel, 3570k is a good choice.

low budget is usually amd. 6300 / 6350(higher clock but expensive) / 8320 / 8350 are choices. not only because cpus are cheaper, but because mobos are cheaper too.

For low budget Intel you can go with the 3470 (i5). But seriously I would go with AMD. They offer much better performance for the money.

I completely forgot about the motherboards being cheaper. This could allow for a CPU upgrade or if a very budget system is what they are aiming for they can do so.

This might be out of your budget, but this board is pretty good.

If it is out of your budget this is a decent board, but you can run multiple GPU's

Go with AMD. An FX 6300 would do you just fine.

beware, with 125w processor you must get mobo that support it and its stable while all cores are running.

6300 on the other hand is 95w

Good budget CPUs from AMD are either the A8 5600K or the FX 6300, the FX 4300 is not worth its price, for a little bit more you can get the FX 6300 and for less you can get the equally powerful 5600K.
The 5600K also has a very good integrated GPU, which means you can use it to play games while you save up to get a good graphics card like a 7850 or a 7870.

A good budget AM3+ motherboard for the FX 6300 is the MSI 970 G46 and the Gigabyte 970A-DS3P .
A good budget FM2+ motherboard for the 5600K is the GIgabyte F2A85X-D3H.

Depends on you budget. I like the i5 4670k, but amd also has good cpus.
