I was ready to build an intel 3570k but money is tight and either i can spend on a gpu $100 cheaper or i can get and amd 8150 and buy a gpu veryyyy high end like 7950. So hers my build idea

Amd 8150 or 8350 when it releases
8gb vengenace ram
128gb ssd for os
1tb hard drive
Asus mobo or msi
Amd 7970 gpu or gtx 660ti
650w psu corsair and all the other basics let me know please
 
The 8350 will be around the same price (or even a little more) as a 3570K, just FYI.

In any case, the 8150 will do if you're going to playing at 1080p or above. At those resolutions, it's more about the GPU than it is the CPU. A 3570K would still edge it out, but it's not as big of a gap as it would be at lower resolutions.

Well, if this system will be for gaming... you would be better off going with the i3-3225 and staying with an Intel board. The i3-3225 is actually a better gamer than the FX-8150 and less expensive. And you would have the Intel motherboard to support the i5-3570k if you decide to upgrade.
Here is where Tom's ranks the processors for gaming:

Don't get me wrong. I'm not down on AMD. I like AMD. I have a PhIIx4 system sitting behind me. But if gaming is your main use, the i3 IB would be the way to go instead of the FX-8150.

The FX-8350 I have no opinion on. Like everyone else, I'm hoping for the best.

well for hd movie editing you're gonna want a intel. I'd say a i5 2400 maybe a 2500k. A 1st gen i series will be more than enough to do hd movie editing. For AMD I'd say a phenom II x4. But video editing software loves more cores for some reason. I haven't looked into it yet but a six core amd would be good but the six core phenoms are getting hard to find and are around the same price as a 8150. But if you want faster decoding I'd go with intel.

Will the 8150 lag in alot of ssh work iphone restores jailbresk alot of regular web browising ect? Are the 6 cores better than the 8159 will i get mpcloser to i5 power?
 


It's not the worst thing in the world, no, lol. It just had a ton of hype and failed to live up to that hype, so it gets slammed because of that.

Is Bulldozer slower than Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge by a pretty large margin? Yes, but a faster BD CPU (like the 8150) is still ok. It'll still do anything you need it to do, just slower than an Intel CPU.

But if i throw un the ssd i think it will make it par with i5 lol? And i mean people do expect to much this in fact the first 8 core cou it may not be 8 cores exact but its got the power of one
 


A SSD won't make up for the difference in CPU power, no, but it'll certainly "feel" faster (A SSD would make a P4 "feel" fast, lol).

You couldn't put it any better. But I agree. Intel is faster. But AMDs CPU's can hold up.

@hbeduryan818 if you're looking for performance but are on a tight budget AMD is the way to go.
But with all of what DJDeCiBeL said, I agree with him. And the 8150 isn't a bad cpu. But if you get it keep it
cause I'm sure in the future applications and games are gonna start using more than 4 cores. And that FX-8150 will come in handy.

Another thing if you do plan on gaming, that cpu is more than enough to run most games. Especially if you pair it up with the gpu's you mentioned. :D

Is the amd 6100 as fast as 8150 or the phenom 6 core? Should i wait for piledriver or just go for the 8150 right now? Will piledriver be as much as 8159 used to be when it came out?
