i will be building a gaming pc soon and i would like to use an amd fx 8350 cpu because it is so cheap but still powerful but is there any reason an intel cpu would be better for gaming perposes.

thank you.

Any Intel i5 will crush FX 8 on stock speeds. Intel CPUs are better gamers, even non-k ones will be better than FX 8 in gaming, they are more power efficient, have a more upgradable path and will be cheaper (you'll need a pricy MoBo and af cooler to get FX 8 on non-K i5's level).

well intel>amd in case of quality but I think it has to do with your gpu so in any case an i5 might perform better than an equal amd but the gaming needs as for the i5 4460 i can't get why it outperform the fx one,fx is better plus i think it is around 20$ less,when it comes to gaming gpu is more important,on both cpus you will have good gaming experience,i would suggest the fx over the i5 4460 of course it depends on the game for instance bf4 will definetely be better on the fx,in terms of gaming it depends on the game generally fx beat the hell out of the i5 and it is cheaper.
