AMD or Intel for PC build?
I've priced out two similarly specced builds. One uses an a 4th gen Haswell i5 4570 (I can't get the overclockable version, far too expensive) and the other uses an AMD FX8320.
In the Intel build I lose overclocking, my RAM is halved to 8GB, but I gain double the storage at 2TB and more video out ports. I'm not sure how useful extra video out ports will be to me if I'm using a dedicated GPU and not the integrated graphics. With the AMD build, I get 16GB RAM, gain the ability to overclock, gain eSata ports, but lose the storage capacity as it falls to 1TB. Which will be better for a gaming and entertainment build. It needs to be a bit of a beast. It needs to run games, and do it well. I don't want anything to bog it down when multitasking etc. It will also be used for live gaming streams in HD, video editing, movies and basically entertainment. The difference between the two builds, £11, with the Intel being more expensive I've been stuck for which processor to pick for a while and it's holding stuff up. Tell me why, specifically I should go for one or the other It's the GTX 760 Over clocked edition If by whatever reason I can't get that card it will be the GTX 660 over clocked edition (think I've got that second card's number right) Ads |
