im not to familiar with overclocking cpus so theyll prob stay at stock settings
but which is the bater bang for the buck

thanks

 

[itotallybelieveyou]

is price a factor? if it's not then intel

 

[monste4321]

well price and performance are both factors so i'd just like ur opion for best bang for the buck

If you don't get what you want, then you paid too much for it.

You can save the difference in price by not getting a sli capable motherboard.

the intel is much better.
good combo you got there.

 

[monste4321]

what does the intel one have that the amd one doesnt

 

[Can Not]

Yeah... The motherboards are pretty much the same, feature-wise.

The EVGA (Intel board) is 680i, which I'm sure that is a better Northbridge for SLI.

I can clearly see who the Intel fanboys are. Most of them will tell you that the C2D is better, and if its not, they tell you it can overclock, whatever. Basically, the AMD is $30 (ignoring combo discount, if their is one) cheaper and performs %4 better on average. The Intel board will consume less power and have better SLI.

I'd go with EVGA/Intel board personally. In the long run, it most likely will not matter which one you get.

Actually if he's not overclocking, then performance will be similar between those two processors. So go for whichever is cheaper. I can tell you that AMD has the better upgrade path, but if you're not worried about that then it's not a problem.

well ive been shown some benchmarks that the e6750 is slightly better, but its also a bit more money, is it worth the xtra cash
