Im not too savy with computers in that i can put them together and diagnose issues, do simple tests and im capable of reading the internet to solve most of my issues but I havent been keeping up with any of the new processors

My question is im making a new gaming rig, what processors and why.

- i see this P moniker intel processor has no on board graphics. it wont matter in my case but is this purely to drop price or is there another reason

- read AMD lowered prices on some CPU so is there a new gen AMD cpu worth grabbing now?

- Haswell, whats so great about haswell and is it too good to pass up?

budget is 700 (could use mobo advice as well)


thanks guys

ah that was silly of me. i dont really have a budget per say but my entire computer - psu and ram that i already have im looking at around 700 usd

im basically a hardcore sc2 player so its just to stream and play with as little lag as possible. sc2 is a cpu intensive game
