im trying to help a guy whose 50 years old and wants a big upgrade and he haws over 300 games on steam and he likes CPU and GPU intensive games and he already has two 1 terabit e harddrives to put in it and a ROM and he preferences AMD in general and he knows how to builda pc but he and me are not up to date on this stuff so im asking you ppl to give us suggestions
 


AMD's latest 8-core FX-8350 CPU is slower than Intel's quad core i7!
If you want I can show you excellent, well balanced 1500$ build, I need just to know, do you need OS and monitor?

well Intel works perfectly fine but its just something he likes but if Intel is better its all good and monitor is not needed but win 7 will be needed
 
Great Intel build :)
