Hello All
Once again I seek the council of this sites fellow users. I am currently looking up the final pieces on my 1st build. I have done a bunch of piece compatibility research.
I have narrowed it down to the AMD Phenom II X4 965. My question is why is Intel such a desired CPU amongst most you DIY 'ers. I am trying to keep my budget under $400. That is why i have not considered any of the intel CPU's. Although this week i did notice that Intel Core i3-2100 is on sale for $90 with rebate and coupon.
As you can tell i know very little about computers and such. I need some incite on these options.
AMD Phenom II X4 965 vs Intel Core i3-2100??
Is it like comparing a FORD vs NISSAN? i just dont know why everyone is suggesting an INTEL build. Is AMD a bad product or faulty or randomly lame?
