What would you get if it were the same price?
I'm in the process of building a new PC and have been planning on getting an FX-8350. If I hurry I can get an FX-9370 for $9 more. My plan was to overclock the FX-8350 but have never overclocked before, I'm planning to at least do it enough to get my ram speeds up to what they are rated for (2133). I understand the FX-9370 is just an overclocked FX-8350. So I'm thinking, would it be easier to just get the FX-9370 then to try my hand at overclocking, and with the FX-9370 would my ram work at its rated speeds with out having to overclock. Or is it better to get the FX-8350 and overclock it, like would it be more efficient or is it better in anyway? Is there anything bad I should know about FX-9370? Like I said price is pretty much the same, what would you do, and why?
thanks for any insights you can give me.
Here is my proposed new rig:
-XFX Pro 850W Black Edition Full Modular 80+ Gold (Already have)
-Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
-FX-8350???
-Corsair H80i
-G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory (Already have)
-Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card (maybe add more in a couple of years)
