Hello guys,
I ve been watching tomshardware for a while now and this is my first time getting into the mix after a great deal i came across, any advice is welcome.
Some info about the situation.
In light of my new Corsair 500R case i ve decided to not let my old one go to waste and instead build a budget desktop for my younger brother.
The thing is that after a bit of searching i caught a deal on a decent mobo (imho) for only 24 € cause it was repaired. MSI 970A-GD45 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637&Tpk=msi%20970 ). So now i m confused as which AMD CPU is worth
the money compared to the "better" intel ones.
Since here (in Greece) the prices vary a lot i ve provided some of the available CPUs and their prices.
Here we go:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - 97 €
AMD A8 3870K - 112 €
AMD FX 4100 - 110 €
AMD FX 6100 - 120 €
AMD FX 8120 - 162 €
AMD FX 8150 - 195 €
Intel Pentium G860 - 81 €
Intel Core i3-2100/2120/2130 - 110/120/130 €
Intel Core i5-2320 - 173 €
Intel Core i5-3450 - 180 €
Intel Core i5-2500K - 212 €
Intel Core i5-3570K - 219 €
I m eager to hear your opinions about which deal is better and i should go for given that Intel is more popular these days, but i got
about a 60 € bonus from the motherboard so i hope that is a good reason to buy AMD.
