Hi guys,
I would just like to know which setup is better out of the two, the one my brother built or the one I'm looking at building? They're both mainly going to be used for gaming.
Brothers rig:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k Processor (3.4Ghz, 6MB Cache, LGA1150).
GC: MSI Radeon HD 7850 OC (2GB GDDR5).
MOBO: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H.
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory.
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB.
= £524.42 ($869.89 or €659.18).
My rig:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core or AMD FX-8320 8-Core 3.5Ghz.
GC: XFX Radeon R9 280 3GB OC Black Edition DD Graphics Card.
MOBO: A88X-G45 GAMING AC Edition AMD A88X (Socket FM2+).
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory.
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB.
Price with the FX-8320 = £452.50 ($750.28 or €568.78).
Would the FX-8320 make a massive difference to using the FX-6300 in my build or is it not worth the extra £15? Also any recommendations for different components that do the same/ similar job or would improve my build as the ones I've listed would be much appreciated as well (Preferably cheaper components out of the ones I've listed).
