Gaming CPU Needed

[TheNightMaster]

I'm pretty sure this question has been asked countless number of times, So i plan to build a pc sometime soon, I was looking at the i5-6500 or the AMD 8350, now i'm really confused 

Do i go for the kaby lake i5 or the 8370 or 8350 or what , 

Mind you this is for gaming, and i plan to run pc for at least 3 years 

Thanks

Out of those two, the i5 will be better for gaming.

[LosthawkX]

I5 is the better option the AMD architecture is out dated.

[Enderman]

is your PC budget greater than $800?

 

if so, definitely get an i5 or i7

Kaby lake aint out yet

i5 6500 is skylake

 

btw you probably want to change the title

I went with AMD. It was cheaper and it runs great. Most people here seem to like Intel, but AMD motherboards seem to have all the review numbers on PCPartsPicker.

 

I say avoid picking a side and go with whats more feasible at the time of design.

Go for the Intel model. That single core performance.

And yet you made the thread anyway.

im sure those review numbers came from knowledgeable people who vote 5 stars on outdated tech...

that doesnt seem right

My friend has an 8320 and he doesn't like it

Well, if we compare the 8350 with something like an i7 6700k, we see that the 8350 runs at the same frequency, has twice as many cores, produces ~50% more heat (potentially), and yet manages both less single threaded performance and less total performance!  It does cost less however, so pick your priorities

cant you just read other posts?? ffs. its geting boring....

Where does this heat thing even come from?

 

AMD has a thermal limit of 61C, which can be achieved with the same cooler an Intel chip runs at 60-80C with. 

 

Go intel, unless AMD Zen is good, there is no reason to consider it with a fresh build.

9590, really because the amd chips do produce more thermal power(tdp) so they will heat up a room faster, but that has no relation to the max temp of the cpu, and is pretty negligible in the first place.

From the specified TDP

get the kaby lake i5 as i run a sandy bridge i5 and that still kicks ass ps leaves money for an AIO cooler
