I'm plannning to build a gaming PC. My first build was centered around an Intel processor, specifically the Intel i5 4440 4th Gen LGA1150. But in India thats costing $200. I need an equivalent AMD processor because I'm finding $750 (total) to be too high.
Could you suggest any AMD processors (No APUs please) which is an equivalent of the aforementioned Intel chip.
I've been using an Intel 2.8GHz Pentium 4 for 9 years now. And that has served my quite well (I can still play 10bit 1080p Anime on it. Can't play games released after 2007 though ). Since the Intel Pentium is still running great I have some trust in Intel. Also I've read here that Intel's single core performance beats AMD's.
I'm going to use the PC for heavy gaming. What should I go for? More cores or higher performance/core?
Do AMD motherboards offer same features as Intel compatible motherboards?
P.S. No need to provide links for the AMD chips. The US price to me is meaningless cause we pay 35% extra here. :|
