what?

I think what he's saying is if there's a gpu lower $200, $250 max.

For nvidia there's the 960 w/4gb vram. and from AMD i don't remember the name but i think it's the R9 380.

no off my studding, intel is better but for a small work station that docent cost 5k this works perfectly with the 8 cores and the and the R9 360 this will render videos faster through sony vegas pro 13, adobe premiere, after affects or even 3d renders in Cinema 4d even tho that cpu spits out a lot of heat u can get the right cooler to cool it. i have did my home work

The locked i7 4790 will shit on any 8-core AMD cpu even if you got it over 5GHz.  Whether you are gaming or rendering or whatever there is no good reason to go with that 9590.  It is a waste of money:

[stconquest]

--

this cpu is only a few numbers difference from that if 

 

I watched all three videos.  My question is:  How do you come away with the idea that a 9590 is a viable option?

 

The 9590 is an overclocked 8350.

 

The i5 actually beat the 8350 in a rendering comparison.

 

The stable frame rate of AMD FX processors is terrible with even the slightest bit of work.  Those minimums are bad.

 

The ONLY time the FX CPU looks okay is when CPU performance does not matter

 

You have to buy a mobo with a hefty VRM and an aftermarket cooler with a FX CPU.  You can run Intels on stock cooling, and they still beat the FX.

[stconquest]

The Intel is better for gaming.  The FX should beat the 4440 in rendering times.  Cost is the same.
