Processor + Video Card

[mucles]

So I was looking for some good CPU and GPU, and my budget allows me to take these:

1. Intel Core i3 2100 + EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti


2. AMD FX 4100 + Saphire Radeon HD 6790


Wich one should I take?

Take the AMD FX 4100 as it can be OCed to beat the i3-2100's performance. It also has a better GPU.

Ditch the GTX 550ti and get a 460.

Yeah, onced OCed to around 4 GHz, it will be able to beat the i3-2100 at stock.

Also keep in mind that the intel i3 got 0 bad feedback while the FX 4100 got 30.

Sandy Bridge i3 OCed to 4Ghz will beat AMD.
