CPU advice New to this Game

[YoungNoob]

Hey guys,

So for my build I been leaning in to the AMD 8350FX 8 core processor for my build because of its price and performance I have seen on videos when they review this.

But on my last post people keep saying to go Intel i5 4460 because its better, but from what ive seen in videos and reveiws the AMD CPU is better.

So what are the pros and cons of each? Is there a better card that I can get without blowing out my wallet? Which one out of the two cards would you recommend?

Im most likely going to be playing games, and every now and than a video.

 

Please be biase, and not a fangirl/boy of one of these cards.

The AMD CPU is much slower for gaming.

You must have seen the wrong reviews.

 

 

PROS on AMD:

well they atleast try it next year with ZEN.

I've never tried an AMD cpu, I've always gone with intel. If your mainly gaming, I don't think it will make much of a difference.

The 8350 has horrible single thread performance. Your gonna want an i3-4170 instead.

it depends how powerful your graphics card is gonna be and which games you play.

When all the cores are being used fully, the 8 core amd and 4 core intel have about the same total processing power, but most programs, and particularly games don't use that many cores, so the i5 will generally perform better. Intel has more than twice the performance per clock/core right now.

Here are some benchmarks showing how much Intel chips are way better compared to FX chips
