AMD vs Intel PC components (experience users) - TheArcher - 02.10.2013
Hi everyone. I want to ask you what CPU should I buy since I'm planning to use it for gaming.
CPU:
i3-4130 - Ђ127
AMD FX8320 - Ђ131.06
I've seen some recensions and the AMD is faster in multithreading plus it has the multiplier unlocked.
RAM:
Corsair vengeance 1x4GB 1600Mhz (operates at 1.5V)
or
Kingston HyperX 1x4GB 16000Mhz (operates at 1.65V)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 for the Intel i3
for AMD haven't chosen any yet...
What compoents should I buy at the end and why?
P.S I'll combine those components with a HD6850 and a Corsair CX600 which I have already own them.

I know what you mean about the RAM. I will upgrade the RAM to 8GB buying another stick later on.
I saw some recensions about the new i3 haswell and they say that it is close to an i5 3570 on gaming... So the problem is what CPU should I get i3 haswell which or the FX 8320? I chose them due to my limited budget.

Go with fx 8320, you'll need those cores in future.

Well the power consumption for AMD is freaking high. The 8320 @ 4.7 takes ~330Watt so ye...However cores means nothing. i5 CPUs can easly beat that AMD even it has 4 core vs 8 cores. But the real deal I want to know what you think BETWEEN that i3 vs AMD.
Re: AMD vs Intel PC components (experience users) - V1ceC1ty - 02.10.2013
Can't you find an i5 for a similar price? My i5 3550k cost ~$240AUD a year or so ago which is not much more than €127.
In this case the AMD is better: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php But from experience Intel is more reliable. It's down to your personal preference.

The Better For Me
CPU
AMD FX8320
RAM
Kingston HyperX 1x4GB 16000Mhz

Because the i3 is not a quad core I'd go with the AMD. Though what I'd really recommend is to save up for an i5.
