800-900 gaming PC build amd or intel

gahwahfoogi · Aug 19, 2014

I want a gaming pc to have min 300fps on lol and i want a cpu to pair with a gtx 780 so i was thinking of getting either i5 4690k or amd fx 9370

Get the i5. Not sure what you're going to do with 300 fps in a game when most monitors don't refresh above 60 Hz, but you're better off going with the Intel unless you love having more power usage, heat, and less performance.

Lol even an i3 should handle LOL with flying colors.

FX 9000 series is a dead end go Intel.

i5.... i5 K Series and Up, intel owns everything and if you aren't overclocking look into a Intel Xeon with hyper threading basically an i7 without the bells and whistles

Get a FX-8350 paired with a R9-280x or a GTX760 or 770 but only if your are only buying it for League then get a i3 and R9 265.

AMDisAwesome :

Why an 8350? I am just wondering if you have an actual reason to suggest an 8350.

An 8350 is basically an overclocked 8320.

I'm aware. I just wanted to see if there was a reason he picked an 8350 over an i5.

His username is AMDisAwesome, I'm not sure why you wouldn't expect him to suggest an 8350 over an i5. I mean, I'm a dedicated AMD fanboy, and even I am not that crazy.

You have a point there hahaha.

so i decided to get an i7 5970k and gtx 770

Andrei_316 · Sep 1, 2014

Damn you're building a gaming PC, get the i5 K series get a h100i overclock that puppy with a nice cooler and spend the rest on a nice motherboard and a more powerful GPU...

MasterDell · Sep 1, 2014

5970k? I believe you mean the 5820k! That actually isnt that bad of an idea to be honest. It beats the 4790k but it has 6 cores which makes it a more future friendly choice over the 4790k. Dont forget you will need an x99 board in order to use the 5970k though.. That also means you need DDR4 and that DDR4 right now is OP.
