programing... heavy or otherwise isn't all that cpu intensive. waiting for a program to compile is measured in seconds not minutes. but yes, you probably will be able to time the haswell as a critical 2 or 3 seconds faster then the fx on a big hefty piece of code. Seriously now... while i don't disagree that intel cpus are better then amd cpus, i think sometimes people lose a lot of perspective about how big a difference we're talking about. If you just have one monitor with a 60hz refresh rate, you'll NEVER tell the difference between an AMD cpu or Intel when gaming (yes even in skyrim or civ5). You gpu is far more important then your pc is for giving you a better or worse gaming experience.
If by building an AMD rig you're able to squeeze an SSD or better gpu into your budget, Get the AMD. it will feel like a better computer with either of those upgrades. If your rig will be identical regardless of the cpu you use, then get the intel, as, it is a slightly better part. if you have 3 monitors and plan to SLi/xfire and all of them are 144hz monitors, then get the intel. otherwise you'll never tell the difference unless the two hypothetical rigs are sitting next to each other and you have a stopwatch in your hand.
I'am totaly confused.these are my trouble.
1.The computer sellers tell amd loses performance as it gets old.
2.if i choose intel i cant get a good gpu,but iam afraid i will lose performance if i go for amd,thus wasting money.
Chaos..:|
I think that dude said the right thing and you should listen to him.
Yeah, Intel one is more powerful, but it's nowhere near significant really. The GPU advice is sound, although CPU is not to be underestimated, but FX one should do well enough for everything.
As on the CPU longevity, either will do fine for 3 years and more. Worst case scenario - there is a warranty. Don't do the useless overclocking, don't mess with the components like CPU heatsink or paste after the initial installation and it will last all the time you need.
On the overclocking - don't do it, it's useless and pointless. It does not matter really, if whatever you do runs well, then don't screw with it and if it runs like shit, then overclocking won't really change it.
Oh and with lower budget definitely go AMD, their CPU's have amazing value in them, anything same price from Intel would probably be worse (except for that FX95whatever failure).
