Hi I am almost finished with looking for parts for a computer and ready to buy, but I have a question I need answering before I do: For my budget, £750-800 which CPU would be better for my build?
AMD A10-5800K Quad Core APU (3.8GHz) & Radeon HD 7660D Graphics
(ASUS® F2A85-M: (M-ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, 6Gb/s)
OR
Intel® Core i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570 (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache
(ASUS® P8H77-M: M-ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0Gb/s, CrossFireX)
With the AMD I would get a free copy of Sim City (Which is a game I want to play) and with my budget with the AMD I can afford the nVidia GTX 660 TI while with the i5 3570 I could only afford the GTX 660. Both builds would use 8GB SAMSUNG DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 X 4GB) with a 450w PSU.
I will be playing games in 1920x1080 so which would be better for my computer?
P.S. Would the AMD CPU bottleneck the 660 TI? (I am new to this so I'm not too sure)
