Should I buy an AMD processor with the 980 TI? If so which one?

XExplodableX · Jul 2, 2015

I am going to buy a new pc soon and I was wondering if I should buy an AMD processor to go with it since they are much cheaper than intel. Would it be a good choice to use an AMD processor with the 980 TI? If so which one?

I'd get an Intel. See http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html

So you can play AAA games which need a good CPU.

Amd is not really suited for such a high end GPU, it will bottleneck your card. Go at least for a i5, recommended is an i7. For more details search on google for benchmarks and compare intel and amd results obtained with that card.

EDIT: the 8350 is between i3 and i5 (an old i5) as performance in gaming. http://www.techspot.com/review/1006-the-witcher-3-benchmarks/page5.html

if your gonna invest that kind of money then intel is the way to go

For a GTX 980 Ti, you need at least an i5. For GTX 980 Ti SLI, you need an i7.

Should I buy an i7 so I can SLI later?

Yes, it's better to do so, especially when running games on 4K resolution.
