if its for a gaming system why to pick i7?i5 is perfect for gaming and consumes less power than the 8350!as mentioned above nobody can guarantee about a gaming system as new things come out all the time!i think intel will give you the ability for upgrading to an i7 or lga 2011 while on the amd there is nothing to upgrade!

Why do people keep advicing to get i-5 or i7 correct me if im wrong, but i5 and i7 preforms slightly better per core but amd has 8 cores so in theory its faster. and power consumption makes it up by price cose its like 100 + euros cheaper then i7 and 40-50 euros then i5 3570k.
No; we are saying don't pick the Intel Core i7. Do get the Intel Core i5. More cores makes no difference unless you are video encoding something. Most games won't use past four cores. And many games still only use two cores. So your octa-core has no effect in gaming.

But feature game will mostly use more cores dont they?
Was thinking bout this build:
AMD 8350
G.skill 2x4 Sniper
Asus M599FX PRO R2.0
XFX 850w XXX
Sapphire 7950 duel-X Boost
Antec H20 920 if i wood want to OC
ADATA 128gb sx900
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
Have 1tb western digi HDD and opti from my old system
This is falling in to my budget Im livin in Netherlands and i buying from Alternate.nl
I can get nice preformance out of 7950 cant i?
How Does this build look?
1. 850W is overkill.
2. The Antec H20 isn't great.
3. Yes; the HD 7950 will work very well.
Well i was thinking that il be using that PSU for a long time but i can downgrade it to 750 from xfx or shud i go with corsair 750 is like 40 euro cheaper. well i have seen a few benchmarks of that coller and its prudy mtuch the same preformance as H100 with only push setup.
1. I agree; a 750W should be more than enough. But if you don't plan to SLI or CrossFire, a 650W is enough.
2. H100 isn't great either. Very expensive and doesn't perform better than a heatsink.

Thatss why i pick 850w coe i maybe getting Crosfire later on not shure yet, just wanted some spare power.
What cooler wood you advice me then to go with?
Go with custom water cooling. Not the liquid cooling from the CLC. If you're new to overclocking, then I strongly advice that you don't try to hit 5GHz right away.

look i7 does perform better than the 8350...also the 8350 does not actually have 8 physical cores but 8 visual cores i would say 4 physical!
so its no that faster!
