Hi there people! So i've been reading alot on this forum and it has helped me quite a bit! So thanks for that for starters, And now i'm gonna start a battle that has been here for over a gazillion times. But... please, no fan boys. i just want concrete answers. Be it from your own experience or benchmarks.

So, i either wanna get the I7-4770k or the FX 8350.
Before you shout out I7 or FX. This is what i'm gonna play.

Battlefield 4.
Emulated games ( These work on 2 cores max very important i would say)
And loads more, But these two are the most important ones, since BF4 uses more then 4 cores, and Emulated games only use 2.
I'm also streaming everything!

Now i've seen it go both ways, No the i7 crushes the FX 8350. visa versa, what i wanna know is. Which one will suite me best?

Gonna do some heavy gaming+ streaming all day. Some video-editting on the side.
Money isn't the object here. i just want to know which one will do best and will do best in the future.
If i pay more for the I7 will i get a better result if i pay like 130 less for the FX Which seems unlikely but then again, who knows! AMD always has been great to me but today i just want a killer machine.

The FX 8350 is a really good cpu and a great value, but the i7 beats it in just about category. The real question is, is the i7 worth the extra money, well, that depends on your budget.

The 8350 would do the job, the 4770k would just do it better.

So even in heavy games like BF4 which are known to be CPU intensive, you think i'll still be able to stream without losing to much frames or maybe none at all? ( taking away my GPU atm just focussing on the CPU :p)

Because i've been told quite some time now that i will not be able to do that with a i7-4770k, But i've seen you around the forum quite some time now and i trust you know a thing or two about this haha:)

And yeah, budget isn't the issue. i've always had ... low budget systems. today i wanna get a CPU upgrade that will blow my mind.

You'll be fine with either. The i7 is just better in general like the user above said. It's also really great at rendering since you might want to be using some of your stream highlights and uploading them to youtube or using sony vegas to edit them.

Also, the 8350 is the same as the 8320 with just a higher clock rate. If you're on a low budget, go for the 8320.

What graphics card do you have / getting? This is important as well.

i7 will last you longer while all the new applications will be coming out.

Well i said budget isn't the object here because often people say go with this because its cheaper and difference aren't that noticeable xD its an option but i would have to wait for 3 more months or so:)

Ty guys!
