[Solved] New build intel (i5-2500k) or amd (should i wait) ??

new build intel (i5-2500k) or amd (should i wait) ??
i am planing to build a gaming pc with as low budjet as i can ..


Presently i am thinking of INTEL BUILD processor
with these specifications............

i want help regarding this build ...!!!
is this nice build .... ??
or should i make any changes..
or should i wait for the new AMD ..FX 8 core cpus with am3+ socket mobo to come out ....

Main thing i want to say is:
i dont want to overclock with processor like wise dont want to use sli/CFX with graphics.but i have fear ...i dont know i can make my system build play nice games . i am not an extreme gamer but like to play games like mafia2 and gta4 like similar games.

===================================================
i am very much confused between the cpu comparsions of
i5-2500k and fx-8150 cpu... which would be better ????

anandtech link says INTEL is better:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/2

(intel i5-2500k CPU score= 265 )
(amd fx-8150 CPU score= 201 )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT....
PASS MARK link says AMD Is better :
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

(Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.30GHz CPU BenchMARK =7,388)
(AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core CPU BenchMARK= 8,681)

Intel. Even an AMD fan like me is saying intel.

Thank you very very much for the early reply ......

thank you .....

the FX4100 should be coming out soon. Probably be faster/better than the 2500. Just food for thought.

for AMD to beat out Intel you would have to use all AMD parts if you are not using a AMD CPU, Graphics card, and chipset then Intel will be better. But if you are using a AMD CPU, with a 6000 series AMD graphics card and a 990FX AMD chipset then AMD is better.
now with that said Intel is better on more kinds of chipsets then just one and you will be able to see the advantages with less CPU cores and less CPU speed needed. with a GeForce 400 or 500 nVidia graphics card the Intel Sandbridge CPUs will out do the best AMD CPUs by far ... depending on the set up of both test kits as that is a very important thing to look at the quality and parts which are being used in the test kits for what you look at.

If you can spec your PSU to run at 50% capacity it will be more efficient and quiet and it won't heat up your case. Stay with the 800, it won't hurt anything. You could also consider the Corsair HX 750 and the Corsair TX 850 in this price range. Both are very good PSUs.

Guys sorry to interrupt...but have a look at this before jumping to conclusions.

Sorry for the stealing this thread OP, but this is very interesting.

If it is indeed true and Bulldozer has a fighting chance again Sandy Bridge, I feel like I have betrayed AMD by following the blind words of biased review sites 0.o

AMD recommends it

http://blogs.amd.com/play/2011/10/06/getyourrigready/

they only released 3 processors, that was NOT one of them. Give a link to the product and show me some benchmarks.

Late reply, sorry.

The ASUS P8Z68 V_LE is probably better for overclocking. I would choose that one.
You can compare the features on the ASUS website (there is a comparison feature).
