New system FX 6330 or i3?

[milkshakez7z]

Planning on $500 gaming / video encoding build, I see that the fx 6300 beats the i3 in rendering, matches it in gaming, and beats it when overclocked, Is their any reason to get the i3? (This is rendering with sony vegas) Theirs only a $10 and the motherboard is cheaper for the AMD machine.
And with the difference I will be able to purchase an after market cpu cooler, does this seem like a good pathway to go?

id get a i3. intergrated GPU has quicksync which can make encoding a lot faster

interesting, does this beat out the FX in rendering? plus will the fx or i3 perform better in bf3 MP?

The FX 6300 is the better chip for an encoder . Its a country mile better than the i3

For gaming the FX will hold better FPS than the i3 in games like BF3 in online multiplayer . The i3 will choke

 

[TheBigTroll]

if you use CPU based encoding, the fx will win. if not, the i3 will win from quicksync.

true for multiplayer but no benchmarks here

quicksync is a cpu extension
The benchmarks that have been reported all over the web have used the resources available to the i3 ....and it was SLOWER

The OP should just buy the FX
and a motherboard with a 9XX chip set

hmm. quicksync was faster on a i3 than it was on just the CPU on a i5.

Would this motherboard be Ideal? hmm link doesn't work its this one. ASRock 970DE3-U3S3 AM3 970/4xDDR3/SATA3/USB3/RAID/ATX Motherboard

there are motherboard that are the same price or even cheaper than an AMD platform, but to get a z75/77 to upgrade to a "K" series cpu then yes AMD's are generally cheaper.

now coming from a biased intel fan; even i have to admit the FX-6300 blows the i3 out of the water @ its price point when also considering overclocking and using sony vegas. overclocking would help keep the 6300 competitive in single threaded apps where the i3 takes a lead.

IMO the 4300 doesn't bring much to the table that triny can't do and the 83xx still can't compete with an i5 for just about anything but a few instances. (notice the italics!) so the 6300 is the "sweet chip" of PD.

id get at least a 990fxud3 from gigabyte or the 990fx extreme4 from asrock

asus m5a99x evo or regular is also good

Also would it pair well with this gpu : Powercolor 1GB 7850 PCI-E VGA Card - $159.00

Alright cool, thanks for you opinions guys, I think I know what I'm getting.
