1200$ i7 equivilent amd build

[LE_AM]

Help me get an amd build that would be close to an i7 4790k and a gtx 970

[AMICLG]

Do you mean both CPU and GPU wise? As no AMD CPU is even close to a 4790K except the FX-9590 on some multi-threaded applications.

[GodSpoon]

There isn't one

 

At least until Zen comes out maybe 

[don_svetlio]

just get a Xeon E3 1231v3 + R9 390

Why not get an actual i7 build...? You could outperform the 970 with an AMD card but not the i7.

the closest cpu to an i7 in terms of rendering performance would be a 12 core opteron , but it won't be anywhere near as good for gaming.

 

Get an actual i7. Given your budget , you can afford it.
