Building a game rig/rendering/programming/basically all in one.

Really need help now since my 8350 cpu just jumped up 50$ ...

Was wondering if there was a i5, or i7 that would be a great deal better for streaming or equal to the 8350's streaming power.

I was really wanting to stay around the 200$ mark on a cpu and WANT TO OC THE THING!!

I want it to be powerful enough to do anything I throw at it, probably running 16gb @ 1600 too.


Really like the fx cpu until the price jumped on newegg from 200 to 250.. a deal breaker for me. Now IMO it really isn't a price vs performance option anymore.


Throw ideas and benchmarks at me and I will be grateful.

I can agree and I have just learned the 8320 is the exact same cpu and clock the same as the 8350....

might go the cheaper route to oc now :D

Just fyi for future readers doing more research on it before I go out at buy in with tax check in Feb
