Hi, i'm looking to build a gaming computer and was wondering which of these processors would be best. Benchmark tests i've found online seem to put the i5 a little better than the AMD, but would this be noticeable?
At the moment i'm considering the AMD with the following motherboard and psu:
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt
The i5 is about £10 more, but would this need a more expensive motherboard?
Also is this psu acceptable for the more power hungry AMD processor?
Thanks for the advice, is this motherboard more compatible the AMD FX 8350?
