Danbuscus25 Dignified Feb 15, 2014 5,368 0 13,960 May 19, 2014 #7 yup, infact the 8320 is on sale for $140 from ncix and for your price range, get this: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor (£104.72 @ Aria PC) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£25.45 @ Scan.co.uk) Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£64.76 @ Scan.co.uk) Total: £194.93 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) (Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-05-19 18:48 BST+0100) any cheaper and then you would want an fx 6300, but if you can stretch for 190 pounds then get this. Upvote 0 Downvote

Danbuscus25 Dignified Feb 15, 2014 5,368 0 13,960 May 19, 2014 #9 well, in general, intel out performs amd but is also more expensive. Upvote 0 Downvote
W WreckedR1234 Honorable Jan 7, 2014 73 0 10,640 May 19, 2014 #10 OK well how big a performance gap is there on a game such as bf4 or day z between intel and amd Upvote 0 Downvote
Danbuscus25 Dignified Feb 15, 2014 5,368 0 13,960 May 19, 2014 #11 eh, not much, an fx 8320, especially when overclocked, can handle those games just fine. but, in a few years, new games will start to lag with amd and you will probably be forced to switch to intel. Upvote 0 Downvote
