Choosing a CPU

[BadneckRedneck]

Hello

 

So I want to upgrade my old Q6600 and I don't know what processor I need to pick.

Intel core I5 6500 with a ASUS h110 plus and 8 gigs of DDR4 Corsair vengeance LPX 2400MHz

Or an AMD FX 8350 with the Wraith cooler with the Gigabyte GA-970 gaming and 8 gigs of Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz

6500.

Get a 6600 so it can share the same numbers with your old one.

I actually was going to do that but it didn't fit in my budget since I wanted an ATX motherboard so I don't waste space in my case

Just buy your parts off Jet and use their coupons and save the money.  Then what you save can be used to bump to the 6600.

The only setback is that they don't ship to the Netherlands

Oh,  IDK. The 6500 is probably a safe bet, that or wait a little longer if you can. Save some more and pick up that 6600.

Yeah, I was planning to do that, but I recently bought overwatch and I kinda want to play that without being able to count my fps with my hands. I heard that AMD is going to release new processors soon and I expect that the prices of processors will drop.

Yea they will be. But the old CPU's are just recycled designs, so you'd be buying a 6 year old brand new cpu.

 

I don't know, I've been with Intel so long that I've just gotten used to their way of doing things. 

I always just waited until I could buy the PC I wanted, and enjoyed it instead of making do with a lesser machine.

I wanted to wait so I could also upgrade my hd 6870 at the same time with my processor but my mouse broke and I thought fck it, I'll just buy an expensive one and be done with it.
