So im planning on buying a custom PC from pcspecialist for my first budget gaming PC(because I dont want to f**k up the system when building my first PC), and I am tied between:

Intel i5

AMD FX-8350

I looked at some benchmarks online that said the amd was better, but idk because I dont really know a lot about computer hardware, please help!

(BTW my budget is £500 - £600(UK))

Spoiler

Future build:

It entirely depends on your workload, don't listen to the fanboys.

Intel is a better choice in most cases, except for extreme multi-threaded workloads.

LIBERATOR: Core i5 6400 @ 2.7GHz | GeForce GTX 670 2 GB | HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 @ 2133 MHz | 250 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
My new build; Liberator, Check it out

The more friendly we are, the more helpful we are!

 

MY OLD BUILD (AKA PREBUILT MONSTROSITY)
INSANITY: AMD Athlon II X2 @ 3.0 GHz | Geforce GT 720 2 GB | 4 GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHz | 120 GB Silicon Power SSD | 500 GB Hitachi HDD
