Hello im getting ready for a PC build. My PC would be used for gaming and high quality rendering. my price range is 600-750$ (Australian) and the 1 Part i cant compare is the Cpu. AMD FX-9590 8 Core Black Edition or an Intel I5. My graphics Card will be a Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X OC 3GB. Help me out if you have time and if you could can you list the rest of the parts compatible with this - Skittlz

If you can afford it the i7 would suit your needs better than the i5 for rendering.

DON'T TAKE THE FX!!!! My friend has one and he uses water-cooling system. His temperatures are around 80C. That's incredibling high for watercooling system. With the stock fan, my friend told me, the PC switched off for security reasons after 6 minutes. He checked the log files and saw temperatures of ~120C. And the best of all!?!, it has less fps than an core 2 quad. Take the i5 or an i7
