Gaming/Light Editing CPU choice
nena360 i agree with you i3 isn't better than an fx 8350... 2 cores aren't enough anymore this days...
so this is going a little bit off topic... so i see we have mixed opinions about the 8350 here... some say that it
is better than the i5 3570k other are saying that it's worse... now i have really no clue... tek syndicate
shows us that the 8350 is better... linus says that they have both more or less the same cpu power and that the 8350 is more future proof,
and other youtuber think that the i5 3570k is better like tek yes city... so whaaaat?

there you go, these are user submitted results they don't lie as you can see around 4900 submissions for both CPU's...the FX CAN be up to 30% faster than a stock i5-3570K (when ALL 8 THREADS ARE FULLY UTILISED SUCH AS WHEN RENDERING VIDEOS FOR EXAMPLE, THIS NEVER HAPPEN WHEN GAMING) BUT if you run applications that use 4 cores or less (SUCH AS 99.5% of the GAMES out there) the i5-3570K at stock is 40% faster than the AMD FX-8350. Keep in mind this is 3.4ghz intel vs 4.0ghz AMD...the intel outperform greatly in daily tasks and perceived speeds and especialy when it comes to gaming, ANYBODY telling you otherwise is clueless: THE i5-3570K is the SUPERIOR processor EXCEPT if you're building a purely workstation/rendering machine.
EDIT: BTW, when it comes to gaming, those are the stats in the bench you really want to consider more than any other:
Also read this, it sumarise it VERY well, this guy is a beast:
