This is really hard to to think over. I get both sides of the story when looking at other reviews about, which is better. I mainly use my computer for games such as Arma 2 and Flight Simulator X. Arma 2 is a well rounded game, in other words, it uses basically everything in equivalence. Flight sim X on the other hand is a high CPU usage type of game so I'm trying to decide whether the 955 is better or the 8150 is better.
My current system:
CPU: AMD 955 BE @ 4.0 Ghz
Motherboard: 790FX-GD70
GPU: Sapphire 6870 1gb
Ram: Corsair 12gb DDR3 1333 (XMS3)
HDD: 160gb for OS (windows 7 x64), 500gb (Flight sim x), 320gb (other games), 500gb (extra stuff)
PSU: 550w
Im looking into getting the 8150 with the Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard as well as a 1000w psu at a cost of $65. If I do get the 8150, I will definitely over clock it.
Apparently the 955 is better, based on many reviews but I am also getting told that the 8150 is the way to go so I am really stuck. Its constantly going back and forth. So help me out on this one guys. Ive searched many reviews and all of them say get the 955 at the same time saying get the 8150 so.....
