Which combo is better?

mangodrinker · Jul 24, 2013

Hi, would it be better to make a gaming pc build with an intel i-5 3570k with an Asus P8Z77-V LK or an amd fx-8350 with an ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0? Thanks.

3570K with Z77-LK hands down.

The 3570k does tend to be the better gaming CPU, but the AMD is usually cheaper. So I would go with what the budget allows. Possible by going with the cheaper 8350 you could get a faster video card

The 3570K is the better gaming CPU clock for clock, also the Intel mobos support PCI-E 3 (and the P8Z77-V LK is a good gaming mobo so nice pairing)

Thanks for the feedback, I think I will go with the 3570k. I would only have saved 5 dollars going amd so I don't think I could have put it to good use for the gpu.

Starbucks maybe

You'll be happy with it, I'll be building a Haswell or two for business, but have a feeling I'll be sticking with my 3570K more than using them, unless I get a really good Haswell CPU out of the two I'm planning

I was just looking at amazon and I can get a Haswell i5-4670k with a gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP for twenty dollars more and I can go for it, what do you think?

Your call

I don't know what budget if any you have and I try and help out here as I would with my clients and we always set a budget to start, but sure, can always go for it

Tradesman1 :

If you're getting a HASWELL CPU, get the one with a batchcode that starts with L310 those are the good overclocker ones

L311's are one of the bad ones.

In part maybe, but will be good and bad in each batch, and few let you specify what batch you want if buying via internet
