There are other threads out there but this one will be personal to me. I am looking to custom build a gaming pc with a reasonable budget. I approached the "go to guy" at my college for advice and he came up with specs list which all seem value for money (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vkhjqs). Upon closer inspection he had selected an AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor. This seemed surprising as all the Youtubers I look up to have some version of the Intel i7; and the forums of the internet seem to agree. As some who only plays games I have to ask others. Is he correct in that the AMD will help, with video rendering I will face in editing, with its extra cores and the fact it's cheaper or should I go for an i5 or 7, even though I wont purely be gaming??
Additional Info as I dont know how to add a reply:
- I plan to go into making Seananners and GassyMexican-esque videos for YouTube so editing will be a major thing. So I require a balance as although a will be gaming alot I need the rendering power from the extra core to make them look pretty
My budget is around £800 but it looks like it will have to stretch but no more than the 1000 mark...
