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)
===================================================
ANY suggestions given from the readers will be thankful....
(please please give me your suggestions......&
For the readers convenience i have provided the links too(only for intel build ).......)

Simply, choose the Intel build for gaming. No doubt about that.
The recent review here on Tom's Hardware shows that AMD Bulldozer is nowhere near as good as Sandy Bridge when it comes to gaming.
I don't know anything about PassMark, but it probably doesn't reflect real world gaming performance (if its even a gaming benchmark?).

oh and an 800W power supply is overkill if you don't plan on CF/SLI in future.i know what you are suggesting .... i chose this because .. i was thinking to go for CORSAIR gs 600 smps ... but i searched internet and found it a bit unstable ... and then i saw both CORSAIR gs 700 and gs 800 with little price difference ... so i am going for the gs800 one... which has more head room for little price increase.......
this is my reason .

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.

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

Wait a month or two if you can.
No matter wich plattaform you chosse the AMD FX line will cause a drop in the prices. Something We all agree is good
Intel VS AMD is an old topic wich I boil down to this:
Intel are not bad processors just bad bussines
Intel always cost too much.
IMO the two or three extra frames per second in a game is not whorty. With the money saved you buy better video card wich gives 10 more frames.
Or Spend the saved cash in Cooler gabinet, more Ram,7.1 sound speakers or wahtever.
Today productivity software demands of processor power are Ãnfimous. Video transcoding/playing has been made meaningless by modern video cards.Most video games can´t use more than two cores much less require it .For that to change will take a lot of time so:
Design your rig according your global budget. You can´t go wrong witch either proccessor anyway.

I'm going with the i5 2500k because simply put, it's really the best CPU when it comes to gaming for the price. Plus if you decide to overclock in the future, it'll last you even longer. Good luck with your build!
