What is the better choice betwin : I don't will fix OC for all day, i will do it only wen i need !! (I will play some NFS Run, maybe Lineage..) Intel: 650€ Intel Core i5 2500K Asus P8Z68-V XFX HD6870 G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2x2GB 1600MHz CAS9 1.5v Low Voltage Cooler Master 212 Plus XFX Core Edition PSU PRO 550W AMD: 450/475€ AMD FX 4100 Black Edition G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2x2GB 1600MHz CAS9 1.5v Low Voltage Asrock 990FX Extreme3 XFX Core Edition PSU PRO 550W Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus PowerColor HD6790/ XFX HD 6850 Tell me if is better pay more 225/250€ for intel, or AMD is good for me.. Or other config. Tanks !! Edited November 23, 201114 yr by MGodinho
November 23, 201114 yr Crew I'd opt for Intel power... the FX4100 isn't a real quad mate and performance might be not that good in games which use more than two cores... and a lot of new games do... In Belgium 2500K is about 80 euros more expensive than FX 4100. Where do you get the 200 euro difference ? Motherboards can be had in different flavours for the Intel from 100 euros on... , there's no need for an expensive motherboard... P67 will do just fine...
November 23, 201114 yr I would also go the Intel-way...much, much more raw power. something must be wrong in your pricing - maybe take a cheaper board P8P67 will do fine also...shouldn't be much more than 100€ difference...
