Hey, im planning to build a PC and im still stuck between these for the CPU. I plan to OC it and if I get the one of the two AMD CPUs, I'll save a bit of money, than the i5 4690k. I want the most performance, better, stronger cores, overclockability and power efficiency from these CPUs. So which CPU should I get for my PC?

Thanks in Advance :D

How do you intend to use your PC? Personally i would only consider the FX 8350 and i5 4690k for anything serious. The i5 has stronger cores however the FX has 8 partial cores. If you use applications that takes advantages of lots of threading then the FX 8350 is a very good solution. For mostly gaming then the i5 is more suitable however both CPU's are VERY able.
If you do not desire to use a GPU then the only options are the i5 4690k and A10 7850k as they have built in GPUS.

Then the i5-4690k is the best choice for you,

and if you are on budget than the Fx-8350 is best choice.

I say skip the overclocking altogether and focus more on GPU, for gaming. Overclocking, generally, costs about $100 more. That extra money would be better spend towards GPU. It depends on your budget for the system. The reason I have an overclocked system, is I needed something same day, and I could not ignore Microcenter's combo deal. A locked i5 and motherboard would have ended up costing me more or about the same, and I already had the cooler lying around.

if its just for heavy gaming mainly then I suggest the i5 4690k as this has the most powerful cores. Light editing will be fine on this CPU. However if you want to save a little you cant go wrong with the FX but the i5 will give you the edge.

I decided to go for the i5 4690k, since many suggested this CPU by watching and reading reviews, I can see that this is a powerful CPU. Thanks for all the help from you and everyone :) Really appreciate it

The AMD 7850k is the best value. Its not even close. It costs half as much, has a higher frequency, supports faster memory and includes integrated Radeon R7 graphics. I just built a system with one and it runs Skyrim on high settings with no lag, also Elite Sniper 3 looks great on it.

Here is a value comparison from what is available at Microcenter. The AMD 7850k costs only $120. To buy the Intel 4690k and a R7 graphic card will set you back $338!


Here is a breakdown comparison of the 2 CPU's.
