Hello everyone.
I'm looking at these two CPUs for my new gaming PC but I can't decide which one to chose. The reason I'm between these two is because they are similarly priced and fit nicely in my budget. I will be using a GTX 760 graphics card with the CPU. I want to play games that are out at the moment like next car game,DayZ, Assassins creed black flag, Dirt showdown, Far Cry 3 and many more. I would like to play these games at high/ultra settings at 1080p. I also want to play games that will be coming out in the future .
Reasons I'm considering the AMD FX 8350
Some games I want to play have recommended requirements that say "Intel i7 or AMD bulldozer"
Higher clock speed
Will probably preform better in future games as they start to take advantage of more threads/cores
I can overclock it however I would be nervous about doing it manually because I have never overclocked before. is there any software that can do it for me?
Reasons I'm considering the Intel i5 4440
Slightly cheaper than the AMD FX 8350
It is on a new socket so it will probably be easier to upgrade in a few years as more CPUs use this socket.
Will probably have better performance in single threaded applications and games.
What one should I get for my new gaming PC.and what one will last me longer before needing upgraded?
Thank you for your help :
