I will come out right now and say it, that I do like Amd over Intel, despite me knowing they kick ass. So now that is out of the way...
I was thinking about purchasing the 780g gigabyte motherboard for about $100 on newegg. Now that a friend wants to but my 5000+ processor, I want to also upgrade my processor. I am having a terrible time figuring out whether a 9600 Phenom would be better over a 6400+ X2. I do some adobe work and I realize that SUPCOM will run better, but according to TOMS cpu chart, the 9600+ is only marginal performance increase over the 6400+.
My new setup will have
2x2gb gSkill
8800gt SC
razer barracuda soundcard
Lanbox lite Micro-atx case
raptorX 150gb
The thing I would like help on is whether there is a better performing CPU/micro-atx Mobo combo out there that is either intel or AMD.
Which is better, the 790fx or the 780g for gaming? I know the 780g is great for an HTPC, but what about gaming and light editing? Keep in mind I decided on a micro-atx because of constant traveling.
Are there any new amd processors coming out that I should buy then?
Sorry for the mass of Q's everyone, thanks
