So I have put together two builds and can't decide which one of the two is better. One is Amd with good graphics and the other is Intel with a good cpu and gpu unlike the Amd build. I am also open to any other builds that anybody can put together under nine nundred. Thank you, Jeff.

Ill go for the amd build.

Jeffrobson · Nov 27, 2013

Do you think this is the best build I could get? Also, thanks for the quick reply.

the amd build with the 290 massively out weights the intel build with the 280x
an amd build also isn't that bad, especially with a 8320, i have one my self and they OC beautifully, i have mine stable 4.5ghz.

AMD but if I were you I would wait for non reference 290's to come out unless you are okay with a fighter jet on your desk.

Jeffrobson · Nov 27, 2013

I always just got the idea that the 8320 was "cheap", since the cores weren't as strong individualy as the intel

Jeffrobson :

AMD CPUs don't have as good single core performance that Intel does but the 8320 is still a great CPU.

IAmSpencer · Nov 27, 2013

Correct, but with everything, there is good and bad, id nearly 100% go with an amd processor if i meant i could get a higher tier card then an intel build.

IAmSpencer · Nov 27, 2013

Jeffrobson :

AMD is cheaper because they are very power hungry chip

Jeffrobson · Nov 27, 2013

Well I won't be getting this until christmas anyway, so hopefuly they have some quieter and better cards by then. Do you think there will be by then. It souns like the amd build is the best build I could get. Do you think it will play all the graphic intense games good with high high fps

Jeffrobson · Nov 27, 2013

Will my psu be enough to oc too.

16bit · Nov 27, 2013

Jeffrobson :

The non reference 290's will most likely be out but no one is really sure. It will play every game at ultra at playable fps.

16bit · Nov 27, 2013

Jeffrobson :

The 290 is a real power hog, If it were me i would bump up the power supply especially given you have a amd chip you want to overclock. Overclocked under full load (mainly stress tests) i'm not sure that the 550w bronze psu could handle it.

hey guys ,
AMD is much cheaper when compared with Intel , and with the Fx 8320 i can assure you that you'll will be amazed !! bt if you have a lot of dimes in your pocket , then Intel is better!! obviously because its priced higher than amd !! well one more thing , im glad to say that im also an Fx 8320 user ! and im pretty much happy with this processor!!! :ange:

Jeffrobson · Nov 27, 2013

Thank you for the advice on the power supply I went ahead and swaped those out. I wasn't feeling good about that part either. Can you guys find a better case if possible fir that price point. If not everything now sounds good with reassurance from all of these fellow amd users, thank you all.
