I'm looking to build a budget gaming pc and I'm wondering which of these two processors will give me the most bang for my buck.
My goal with this gaming build is to be able to stream/record games with several browser tabs open and maybe a music player like itunes up, all at once.
I realize intel is always the popular choice but I don't intend to upgrade anytime in the near future after building so I'm mainly concerned with what will provide me with the best performance until i decide to upgrade (which will probably be at least 3 years from now) So which cpu will serve me better in light of the goals I specified above?
I have heard that, for the price, the Phenom 965 is the better deal. Is this true? If so, how much better is it?
