Wich way should I go?

In my country the prices for these 3 CPU's only differs about $9. So, assuming the rest of compnents to be equivalent, wich one will be a best buy? Does paying a little more for the AMD 7750 is worth it?

And what are the advantages here by going for ntel, besides OC wich I know favors this option.

follow the charts link at the top of this page .

Have a look at the cpu charts . How do the processors perform in the kind of apps you use?

The 7750 or the e5200 would be my choice . Both should overclock well .

The 7750 is the way to go for an AMD setup, or the E5200 for an Intel. I wouldn't bother with the 5600 if you can get the 7750 for that price though.

Oh and between the AMD or the Intel? I'd go AMD for no overclock or a mild overclock, but I'd go with Intel if you plan on significant overclocking.

Thanks for all the replies.

I tried to look for E520 in the charts but I couldn't find it. And I already know that AMD's 7750 will outperform the 5600. But this one is the cheapest in the group and when OC'ed it turns out to be a great CPU... for what I've read.

But mainly my doubt remains. Is it better to go Intel or AMD now (and in a year or so update to a more powerful processor, maintaining the rest of the hardware?
