AMD Computer From Scratch

[Octa33]

I know that Intel is the supposed best out there. But I have always personally been an AMD person. At the bottom will be the build that I had help putting together (nothing is bought yet) With  ahuge shoutout to the people who helped me. They were fast and friendly. I have done my fair share of PC builds before, but have been on laptops for my daily drivers, with my PC building being for people who already got the parts. So I know what I am doing physically, but am out of the loop when it comes to what the new parts are and compatibility. For my past two laptops (lasting me a combines 8 years) I went to best buy and got what I needed clock speed and video card wise.

But now I am settled down and with my work load need to go back to a desktop. And for the sake of curiosity, was wondering what the equality would be in AMD terms of what was already put together. Obviously the cooler, SSD, HDD, RAM (permitted the new Mobo supports DDR4); would all be the same. But Processor, Motherboard, and even an AMD video card. Is there anything out there that would give me equal performance for similar costs. My main thing is to have more than 4-cores on a processor and a beast of a videocard. I would prefer DDR4 for RAM, but this is NOT a gaming rig. This is a computer for heavy editing, graphic design, and 3D modeling. The gaming will be done on a console and this will be used to live stream the games. I need a rig to be able to render or export while working on other files. The heaviest of games I would play on here would be some TF2 or Gmod. My total budget is a maax of $1500 USD, but would like to stay lower if possible. I do not need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, ect. Just the tower.

Also, what information do y'all have on the new AMD chipset? Last I heard was it was slated to come out around October of this year.

well, afaik the best of the best amd has to offer right now is the fx9590, which kinda just limps along behind a 4790k (both at "stock" for as far as you can call a 9590 stock...)

 

if people insist i can drop in the benchmarks but i cba to wait on puush loading right now.

 

TLDR: the best intel chip that has an "amd equivalent" would be something in the i7 4770- i7 4790k range, but it pretty much reflects in pricing as well

 

PS: whenever i compare, i compare in multithreaded numbercrunching, the single threaded debate is a sheep drowned and burried 5 times already.

The 5820k and 980 ti are really the best of the best.

(Especially when you need a lot of cores, like the 5820k provides)

 

You can get away with a cheaper GPU if you won't be gaming on the rig, perhaps, an Nvidia 970 or AMD 390.

The closest thing to that is Zen, which comes out in 6 months.

AMD has nothing that competes with X99

 

The Fury X is alright against a stock 980ti, or for ITX rigs, but at this point you'd be best off waiting for polaris/pascal.
