AMD vs Intel/Nvidia

[blankoos]

Hey, was just about to order my build, http://pcpartpicker.com/user/blankoos/saved/#view=z3WdnQ

But I came across a couple of AMD vs Intel/Nvidia videos and it seems like AMD has the more bang for the buck.

 

R9 390 vs GTX 970

AMD FX8320 vs Intel Core i7 4790k

 

Which ones should I pick? Don't be biased, I want the best! ^^

Is it possible to use a AMD GPU with an Intel CPU or Nvidia GPU with an AMD CPU?

And if it isn't recommended.   

[Deletive]

it's possible to use AMD with Intel and Nvidia with AMD. 

The best option out of there I would say is the R9 390 with i7.

[MegaDave91]

390 and 4790k

 

You can mix, yes.

[NoobsWeStand]

i7 4790k with the 390

[Oshino Shinobu]

You can use AMD with Nvidia and Intel with AMD just fine. 

 

I'd go with the 970 out of those cards, but both are good. And the 8320 and 4790K are in completely different price brackets. The 4790K is better in every work load. The 8320 will bottleneck both of those cards, so it's best to go with an Intel i5 really.

390 and 4790K

GPU's and CPU's don't give a shit about what each others brand is.

the r9 390 > 970 in benchmarks

for the love of god, do not get an 8320 if you can afford an i7. the i7 takes the cake and the house and the kids

yes it is possible to use an amd gpu with an intel and an nvidia gpu with an amd cpu

 

if you're going to be gaming, an i5-4690k is all you really need unless you're in sli or crossfire with some serious high end gpu's, then maybe you'll want an i7 to avoid the slight bottlenecking those cards could cause

I fixed up your build a little.

Whatever you do avoid the corsair CX series like the plage.

are all cx series bad?

 

jonny guru has reviewed some of them and they have been rated quite well

thoughts?

 

btw, i've read that oc.net thread

They all are bad.

The build quality is horeable resulting in very high catastrophic failure rates, where it kills all your components.

The price you pay for a CX is too high for the quality you get.

[Grrizz]

I think you'll find a fairly unanimous vote for the i7 on the CPU side but for the GPU I would say it depends on use, at stock speeds at 1080p and 1440p either one depending on what games you play the scores flip-flop maybe slightly favouring the 390 and at 4K I would say the 390 (but neither of those cards should be used for 4K IMO), however if you plan on overclocking I would probably favour the 970.

Yup that is best!

Lol, why?

Is the XFX really better?

And I chose the Vengeance LP series because there are tutorials on how to remove the heat spreaders for custom painting. 

Is this possible with the Fury series?

And I was planning on ordering the CPU cooler when I get enough money, H100i GTX, but I guess you don't like that either.

I see a pattern, do you just dislike Corsair or are their products actually shit?

They aren't bad really. They're pretty good actually, but their mean't for more budget oriententions. However some places they are expensive and aren't worth it
