QUOTE(wootiq @ Feb 7 2015, 10:51 AM) I come from a time where AMD is more powerful for gaming than Intel...haha. Now no longer... A quad core i5 would outperform most FX chips, bar the power hungry FX-9000 series. Since than really have not catch on the newest development on processors. Really appreciate help from forum members to enlighten me.   |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Feb 7 2015, 10:54 AM) AMD? You'll get this lackluster performance for most games. Not really... Some games are beginning to take advantage of multiple CPU threads, which makes AMD chips somewhat favorable... http://www.techspot.com/review/917-far-cry...arks/page5.html How about these? Core i5-4460 - RM629 Asrock B85M-HDS motherboard - RM239 Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM239 Leadtek/Zotac GTX960 2GB DDR5 - RM759 WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM184 Seasonic M12 II Evo 520W power supply - RM279 Bitfenix Neos case - RM179 RM2508 total (Viewnet prices)  However, bear in mind that going AM3+ will mean there will be no upgrade path for this platform, unless TS is willing to switch to Intel. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Feb 7 2015, 10:58 AM) Yup, but games in the future are taking advantage of more threads. Also, DA:I favors Intel chips. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Feb 7 2015, 11:19 AM) Our price and the favoritism already makes it hard to recommend AMD. Yup, moreover the limited selection of decent AMD boards makes it even harder to recommend. This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Feb 7 2015, 11:21 AM |

QUOTE(MrTrip @ Feb 7 2015, 11:20 AM) Bro if you want AMD chip, I would suggest Trying to pair a FX chip to a board that is well known for VRM troubles? AMD FX-8320E MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ This board is notoriously known for very poor VRMs. |

QUOTE(MrTrip @ Feb 7 2015, 11:26 AM) Okay, so 990FX KILLER AMD AM3+ 499 would be better? Gigabyte 970A-UD3P... However this is not available locally... So what would you recommend? If he is going to overclock, I would recommend Asus instead CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z AM3+ Going AMD is not going to be cheap, its all about the overclocking I would never skimp on the board, knowing that this is AMD Better phases, good VRM I do agree with you guys, Intel will be better Our next choice would be: MSI 970 Gaming - RM359 TechView |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Feb 7 2015, 11:28 AM) And for that, Xeon E3-1231 V3 rollovers it. ...and that's with stock clocks. You'll have to clock the FX-8320 chip to something like 4.8-5.0GHz in order to match a 4770K on stock. This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Feb 7 2015, 11:31 AM |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Feb 7 2015, 11:34 AM) Like you said, "match". With ridiculous amount of power consumption. Third party heatsink and bigger power supply may even i7-4790K without third party heatsink on total cost. Yup, and the whole cost involved is not just worth it... |
