AMD or Intel

[Kyntaro]

Hello everyone.

Just joined the forum because Im in need of help.

Im in the black hole where I cant decide on witch build should I get.Should it be AMD cheap or Intel expensive.

Some people say AMD is horrible because they are so cheap where as Intel is the best cus its expensive.

Some other people also say If its for gaming AMD is perfectly fine and sometime even better if its for gaming only.

Im really confused.I have a 2008 hp laptop witch i would like to upgrade so I could play some decent games.

but with all these cores and threds and gpus and so many thing i just cant decide so I thought you guys are much smarter and intelligent and you can help me out.

My main priority is just gameing

PURE GAMEING(skyrim,borderlands,doom,CS:GO,DIABLO,WOW,METRO) you get the idea.I want these games to run smooth and nice after a hard days work and on a nice weekend.

NOT LOOKING TO RENDER OR EDIT VIDEO OR ANY OF THESE THING.

Only gameing.

I live in the UK and I found a nice place where you can get a nice variarity of pc`s to put togheter. Overclockers.co.uk

my budget would be £ 900 - £1100

 PLEASE HELP

THANK YOU

I feel like this could be a flame war, May want to checkout the rules.

Intel. 

 

Given the older games you're looking at, the IPC advantage that Intel has will be a big benefit to your FPS (previous DX versions are single threaded unless you include the horrible DX11_2). An i5-6500/6600k, or i5-4670 would be great. 

 

Basically you want to find the most affordable Intel 4-core processor that is Haswell or newer with the highest clock speed (GHz)

Intel. 

Go pick a case you want like the S340 H440, whatever you want. 

If you use this exact build is 1,020.89 (insert currency)

Intel has better price>performance right now but Zen might just be what AMD needs.
