I'm unsure which processor to get the i7 3770k or the AMD FX 8350.
Option 1
1. I7 3770k
2. Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard
3. Kingston technology XMP beast 8gb 2133MHz
4. XfX HD 7870 Tahiti (already own)
5. 1Tb HDD western digital 7200rpm
6. 256gb san disk SSD
7. Zalman z11 case
Cost (not including graphics card) ...£612.92 on Amazon
Option 2
1. AMD FX 8350
2. Asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0
3. Kingston technology XMP beast 8gb 1866MHz
4. XFX HD 7870 Tahiti (already own)
5. 1Tb HDD western digital 7200rpm
6. 256gb san disk SSD
7. Zalman z11 case
Cost (not including graphics card) ...
£ 574.53 on Amazon
Both would be running on windows 7 64bit. ...I will probably buy a aftermarket cooler at a later date to possibly overclock the processor. ...
Do I save the money on the amd or do I go for the Intel?
