Looking help on a choice of CPU for my pc gaming build.. I have been looking at the AMD FX-8320 and told to pick the fx over any Intel i3 but was wondering if there was an Intel i5 that is better then the AMD FX-8320 for about the same price! The AMD FX-8320 is $169.99 and my budget build is $700-$730 with the R9-270.. if anyone has a great Intel i5 build or suggestions I would love to see that as well! Thanks for your help and time..
