8350 vs i5 4670k Build

themegadavid · Aug 25, 2013

I have a big problem, I am doing my first time build, for around 1000€ and I have to choose between an AMD FX-8350 based PC and an Intel Haswell i5 4670k based PC.

I wanted to get the BitFenix Prodigy black, with the 8350, but there isn't a Mini-ITX board that supports AMD FX CPUs.

>The reasons for the 8350 are my small YouTube channel ((which I will not spam) for livestreams and video editing 8 physical cores come in handy) and also next generation games may take advantage from 8 cores.

>The reasons for the Intel are my limited space in my room (that is why i chose the BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX case) and also reliability.

Please help me, which one do i choose?

Thanks for your time.

IF you dont overclock FX8350 is not that hot to use it in a smaller case. FX8350 is best suited for multi threaded applications

Hey TheMegaDavid, honestly, if you are going to be constantly video editing and constantly streaming, the FX-8350 is the way to go. I'm sure you could find an mATX board for the 8350:

And than something like this:

There's more options you can find, here: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#t=6,8

However, if you aren't always constantly streaming or video editing, Intel may be the way to go, as you said before, its very flexible and isn't terrible in video editing and streaming, however the 8350 is still better.

Thank you very much for your reply, I am going to consider all of your options.

Thanks again.
