Guys,sorry to bother you again but i have a problem choosing cpu-s.
I'm choosing this processors:i5 2500k,i5 4570,amd fx 8320,i5 4440.

I want to choose Intel cause i know they are better for gaming(I play mmo games),but as i see they are more expensive than amd.

I can get fx 8320 for 138$,2500k for 157$,4570 for 189$ and 4440 170$...So i'm in dilemma now.
ps.I only do gaming,i don't stream or render that can go well with fx 8320.

Out of all of them, the 4570 will give the best performance. Though, it is just a 4440 with .1GHz higher core clock, which isn't going to make a huge difference in performance. I'd guess the performance difference would be <5 FPS. So I'd say save $20 and go with the 4440.

Also, if you were to go with the AMD CPU, just understand that just about all AM3+ motherboards do not support PCIe 3.0. This means that your GPU will slightly be held back by this, giving you slightly less performance. So i'd say $30 is worth the extra FPS from the PCIe 3.0 even though games are only now starting to need better than a PCIe 2.0.

Also, here is a comparison of the 8320 and the 4570.

Compared to a 4570 in MMOs it is its the difference between random fps drops to 40 and a constant 60+ fps. For 41$ its a no brainer. If he intended to play highly threaded games like bf4 I'd say save your money. But the IPC of the 4570 is 45% better than the 8320 so low threaded games its a no brainer
