what processor should I use

fcnealvillangca · May 14, 2015

I know Intel processors are better than AMD but for some reason I would like to build an AMD gaming rig.

If ever it exist is there any processor in AMD that can be alike with intelcore i7? is fx processor?

and what is the cheapest motherboard I can use for my Gaming Rig? thank you for you answer in advance...

AMD's FX CPUs get closest to top end Intel CPUs

amd build? there isn't any amd processor like i7. but you can get fx8350 if you are in a tight budget. and you need to get a good 990fx mobo for that processor.

What is your budget?

An FX-9590 is roughly equivalent to an i7-2600k.

Even an i3 beats the FX9590 most of the time. If you want AMD so bad, wait until 2016.

CTurbo :

Only in the WORST optimized games, that statement is so misleading its absurd, I3 is BELOW the minimum requirements for ALOT of new titles coming out, you know what, the 9590 is not, but its worse!!!??.

I do NOT like the 9590, the 8350 is where you want to go, find a decent 990 board for overclocking, cause that will help you push the chip and get you closer to an I7 (you won't beat an I7). AMD really positioned the FX-8350 against the I5, like 2 years ago, so yeah....

Still a good chip and it can do a lot of things very very well, and for the money, one of the best bang for your bucks.

Actually, the Haswell i3s beat the 8 core FXs in a lot of games. I'd call it 50/50 of the games released in the last few years and 90% of the "old" games.

CTurbo :

Not really a reality statement though, the 9590 is a lot more powerful than an I3.

and its no slouch in gaming, but I still prefer the 8350, its just a better deal

CTurbo · May 14, 2015

I do not wish to turn this guys thread into an Intel vs AMD war, but the Haswell i3s are 25-30% stronger in single core performance than the FX9590 and will outperform it in anything that utilizes 4 cores or less. Sure the 9590 will spank it when 6-8 cores are fully used, but how often is that? Most games still only use 4, and older games only use 2.

I actually think the FX8320 is the best bang for buck of the 8 core FXs.

budget is just not a problem. I'll use that for business so I'm not looking on how much. but if it is possible to save money for a good Rig why not

CTurbo :

thank you for that I like Intel too but I told you for some reason I like to build an amd gaming rig.

I'd get an FX 8320 or 8350 for an amd build.
