[littlesam95]

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering what would be the better set up to go with, Intel or AMD? I dont have much money and am very new.
Please anything would be great!!

The decision between AMD or Intel usually depends on your budget. Lower budgets usually mean going with an AMD processor.
