which processor and motherboard with processor respected should i buy? Intel i7 4790k or AMD FX 8350?

I have graphic card - 7770 vapour x
no liquid cooling
8 gb ram
cooler master 500 w

I want buy intel i7 4790k vs AMD FX 8350 but my main problem is high heating and noise so which processor has low heating and low noise.
I am buying this for gaming purpose like The witcher 3 , GTA 5
And advice on motherboard too.

If it is just for gaming then go for an i5. i7 for gaming is wasted money.

If you want the best performance with the best efficiency get the Intel Core i7-4790K.

If you can afford it the Intel Core i7-4790K is maybe a little more future proof due to 8 threads; but as above the i5 4690K is a great option for £50 more than the 8350. The Intel's run cooler and use less power (depending on GPU and overclock worth thinking about if you are keeping the 500w psu).

What i would do is get the AMD 8530 "$165.93 in amazon" and ebay your video card and use that money to upgrade your video card.
remember one thing. nobody use stock cpu heat sink not AMD not Intel.
just replace all computer case fan with after market fan then your computer will be very quiet. make sure the one that work with your motherboard to have fan control.

from a guy who have a 8350 with almost no computer noise from my computer and my computer is on 24/7.

Why not water cool? The good water cooling solutions are not much more expensive than 10lbs of copper heatsinking you get with air, and that would eliminate any noise. I run an FX-8350 too combined with GTX 970 and don't have much noise as Im on air, when I really cook with my GTX970 that heats up the case pretty good so then I crank up the speed on the cpu but it isn't like when I had the same cooler running on my Q6600 at full speed all the time.

If budget is not an issue, go Intel. If budget is an issue, go AMD.

Per core, Intel has 40%-60% stronger single thread performance using less power.

To lower that output % on an FX cpu, you will have to OC to the point where a 8350 @ 4.6-4.8, overall is roughly equal to a stock Intel 3.3-3.5, and uses double the power and produces considerably more heat.

The 8350 may be a dead end as far as FX am3+ goes, but so is the 1150 4690k/4790k, as skylake will not be compatible LGA.

What you are looking at is top of the line, end of the line cpus, both of which work very well, both of which will last for some years to come, but both of which have trade offs. Intel costs considerably more than AMD and performance reflects that, but AMD costs considerably less and can be brought up to similar performance.

All comes down to budget.

Karadjgne :

Agree with everything you say except single core performance. and where you say 8350 @ 4.6-4.8 is roughly equal to Intel 3.3-3.5.

No way is i5 40-60% stronger. The only way I could see that is if you under-volted the AMD, and ran it at stock speed, while Overclocking the i5, then maybe.

Even with the 4690K at stock speeds the difference is about 20-45% depending on which benchy you use. I've never seen a benchmark where the FX is outclassed by more than 45% on single core. When you overclock it you close that gap substantially. Overclocking is more effective on AMD than Intel clock for clock so you see gains with the FX you wont see with a comparable OC on the intel. You also have the extra 4 cores to play with.
