hi i am building a custom computer, im on a budget and would love the i5 or i7 and already own a i5 computer, but i would like to try an amd this time what would be the best way to go? on a socket fm2...for me comparing the prices a socket fm2 quad core goes for the same price an i3 dual core goes. But im just wondering is it worth getting an amd or should i just for the intel? I am on a budget so it doesn't really matter to me about i5 or i7 i just wanna go the best way for my budget...
