Hey guys i am planning to upgrade my c2d e7500 to fx 4100
Is fx a lot faster than c2d or they give about the same performance
i have overclocked my c2d From 2.93 to 3.33Ghz with asus p5g41tm-lx3 mobo
but if i upgrade to amd i think i will buy the asrock 970 extreme 3 mobo
i also have an old nvidia 8400 gs but it will soon be upgraded to hd7770
help me on this matter i always had been an intel fanboy but intel does come at a price.
i have 14000 indian rupees to buy the cpu-mobo combo.

If the main purpose of this rig is gaming, I would seriously consider the Intel Core i3 2120 or Intel Core i3 3220. They will smoke any of AMD's offerings at the moment as games still only fully utilise around 2-3 threads/cores.

I'm not sure where you're located so I don't know the price of CPU's, unfortunately. However, if you're on a very tight budget, I would highly recommend an AMD Phenom II X4 965 over the AMD FX-4100. The Phenom II will yield more performance due to how the architecture works on Bulldozer.

Intel will give better performance and for that reason I would go with an I3 over an AMD Bulldozer or APU

"Problems" I wouldn't really be concerned. The FX-4100 works like any other CPU. The only thing you should be concerned about is how efficiently programs can utilise the FX modules.

Intel Core i3 2120 - http://www.flipkart.com/intel-3-3-ghz-fclga1155-core-i3-2120-processor/p/itmd8k45juy3gv6j?pid=PSRD8K44HQJ6HPYR&ref=9aa411d3-6599-4d7f-b961-aa7802a9477f&srno=s_4&otracker=from-search

or

What kind of problems. If they mean that some programs don't use Bulldozers module junk to the fullest that is true. Intel CPU's do more work per clock making it faster and more efficient than AMD's Bulldozer and APU's. The perfect example is Intel's I3 3220 vs AMD's A10-5800K. Both are $129 dollars. The A10 is clocked at 3.8 Ghz the I3, 3.3 GHz. You would think the A10 would be faster but in reality On a single threaded apps the I3 is about 25% faster than the higher clocked a10-5800K.

Here is one example: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6347 [...] p-part-2/2

Don't forget that the 3 year old Phenom II X4 965 can out-perform it as well :lol: Not to mention, you're only paying extra for the boost in clock speed with the FX-4170. You could easily OC the FX-4100 to the same clocks on the stock CPU cooler.

The motherboards I have listed will not support Crossfire/SLI. They only have one PCI-E 16x slot. You will have to select a more expensive option if you were to Crossfire in the future.

As for your i5 decision, good choice ;) Just be sure to get a decent GPU to go along with it. Save up a few $$$ and get one STRONG GPU instead of two HD7770's. This will give you the best results overall.

Could you make a list of components you need? Including if you need a copy of Windows or not. This would ultimately help us list components that fit your budget.

Total - RS 35,357

Now I realise I came WAY under budget considering you listed RS 50,000. If you wish, I could make another rig with a beefier GPU/CPU :) You may be able to squeeze in an i5+Radeon HD7870 into this rig considering how much I came under budget.

On a side note, I'm going to have you select your own keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Everyone has a personal preference so I can't recommend anything. You'll also have to decide on monitors yourself :) I would highly recommend a 1080p monitor considering this is a fairly modern gaming rig.

On a side note, do you plan to play in Eyefinity? If so, I will put a beefier GPU into this rig. A Radeon HD6870 wouldn't be able to provide enough horsepower if this is the case.

yeah i think i should opt for eyefinity
but i already own a samsung 55" smart tv

http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-ua55es6200e-led-55-inches-full-hd-3d-television/p/itmdbgggstysgzfk?pid=TVSDBGH6E4GGVNPK&ref=5732fb67-f10e-4729-94d2-bad1693512e4

so the money i cut off from the display can be used for better processer and

as for the card i think i will buy the hd 7970
