Bare in mind I have a 2400mhz ram which I want to fully utilise and a micro-atx case.
I was thinking, AMD FX-8370e with an Asus M5A78L-M. These both will cost me £174. However the processor can max 1866mhz and I was told AMD overheats, although I was thinking to purchase a water cooler. However I'm not sure if I can overclock as easily on this motherboard.
On the other hand (Pricey option), an Intel i5 4690k/4670k and Msi z97m-g43. Which will cost me £240/234.
My question is, is it worth paying the extra £65 for a 4 core Intel? When £65 less gets you an 8 core which is more powerful but "probably" cannot utilise the 2400mhz. Or can it?
I'll be very grateful, if someone can save me from the hassle...
