I've been out of the PC scene for a while. Are AMD CPUs still the best bang for the buck? I plan on light OC.
Primary use is gaming and basic computing stuff (web browsing, movies, music). I don't plan on doing movie editing or anything like that.
I'm not looking for best performance, only value. I don't want to go Intel because of the higher price and the fact that they change the CPU socket way too much. I want a good upgrading path and it seems AMD has been pretty good in this area so far.
So AMD or Intel? Should I wait for Piledriver? I can run everything I want now and don't plan on upgrading in the next month or so.
