Hi everyone,

which one would be a better setup for playing 3D games like Call of Duty, using the same graphic card (e.g. ATI HD4770 or similar)

- Intel E7500 on a P35/P43 chipset motherboard, or
- AMD Phenom II X2 550 on a 785/790 chipset motherboard

Thanks in advance

I think AMD has a way better price to performance ratio and the chip you've chosen is newer than the intel one so should be future proofed. I totally agree with the two guys above me. Also the phenom ii series can get great overclocks if your into that sorta thing.

Thanks a lot GhislainG, OvrClkr, and -iain- . You have removed my doubts, and I will go for AMD.

Thanks again

Cheers
