I have a MSI 870A-G54 Motherboard with an AMD Phenom II Black Edition 3.2ghz (1090T).


I also have a NVIDIA 680i SLI Motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Quad 3.0ghz (Q9650).


I need advice on which will be better for gaming, overclocked etc.

The video Card I have is a XFX Radeon HD 6950 2ghz, like 16gb ddr3 ram, and a PSU that can support both builds. I need to know which will be faster for gaming. Please help, here are the links for the hardware.

Both CPU's

well, the 6950 will destroy games as it is, but on the cpu side, the phenom is better for gaming and general computing. so go with the phenom

No need to bump after 30 minutes man..

The Phenom is newer, and is unlocked, I don't believe you can overclock the q9650.
