Everyone says it but how? Okay so when I build my rig I will use it for a lot of game but also for homework using YouTube and things like that. And also making YouTube videos. If I will be recording videos and livestreaming and stuff wouldn't 6-8 threads (I think it's called threads) be more beneficial? I prefer intel and nvidia to amd but come on those prices aren't things that you should ignore!

If I get an intel cpu I will probably get a 3570k. However if I choose an amd I will probably be open to anything!

So if I am editing things in after affects and making things on photoshop would an amd actually bring me down? I mean 6-8 threads and a GHz speed how much would it bring me down if it would at all?

Also I will be screen recording games like battlefield and titanfall and maybe in minecraft (I really can't be bothered to press the caps lock button today but "I" is an exception... yeah I'm weird...).

Anything else you need to know about my question please ask because I am lost with this.

Stronger per-core performance. Most applications only use a small number of cores, where the intel offerings excel.

In any case, you won't notice a difference in general use like web browsing.

The FX would be slightly stronger in video rendering ( a little faster) and possibly equal or slightly better in livestreaming. If you go with an FX have a look at an FX 8320/8350.

In most other tasks the 3570K would perform better. It would outperform the FX in 99% of games.

For Intel, I would consider this. You would have the gaming performance of an i5, and still have the recording capability of an i7, since all the CPU really is, is an i7 without IGP. :D
