just came back....i told him,its what i ordered but he wouldnt listen...any suggestions??

So you have a cpu and a motherboard that you ordered and have to send back? Amd is going to be branching away from the desktop cpu market. Your friend will be in trouble after this build I bet. I am not to familiar with amd cpu prices in the UK.

The amd cpu is about the same price as the i5 but it needs a lot more power and a new mobo.

The 8350 I listed above and a compatible mobo that is the same price as the intel board would be my suggestion.
