Does building a kaveri build with a r9 390 really help with graphics performance or is it just the same experience on an i5?

[haseebuchiha]

So I want to build a gaming pc and with amd's kaveri processor is it a great idea if i get an amd build or do I go for the casual i7 or an i5?

i5 or i7 would get you better min. framerates in games. Also, welcome to the forums and please remember to follow your own threads.

It is literally worse than with an i5.

 

Not: The i5 also has integrated graphics, but integrated graphics do not boost performance in any games, although there is talk of DX12 & Vulkan, you'd be better off focusing on processing power for the CPU and focusing the same with the GPU.

Ehhh... not to beat a dead horse or anything but mixing an APU with a top tier GPU is very unbalanced. An 860K and R9 380? Sure. But you'd probably be better off in the long run with a Skylake i3 or i5, or even a Haswell i5 like the 4460.

 

In the end it's your system, so if you like what AMD offers then by all means go for it, just make sure you are aware of the pros and cons first.

What about renderring and animation and stuff..... Does it help in any way?

No. You'd be better off with an FX 8350 the an kaveri apu. The rule is if your going to get a dedicated gpu stay away from apu's. Just get an i7 if you want rendering performance. You'll have the best of both worlds.

Just one more thing. Is it better to get a 2.0ghz xeon processor or to go with i7. (I'm getting xeon real cheap second hand. Its the whole build for like 450$)

Depending on the xeon. But 2ghz will be a bottleneck in games. Youd have to tell us the exact cpu's youre looking at.

Tell us what Xeon.

Sounds terrible since it's clocked @2ghz.

But if it's an older Xeon you can OC, with a motherboard, then you'll have something kinda nice.

Yeah I'm pretty much a noob at this but thanks anyway. I Will try to do a little bit more research. Thanks for the help breh really appreciate it.
