Hi, for some one who will use computer only for basic purposes like surfing, microsoft word, email, occasional youtube etc is the L2 cache more important or the L3 cache is more important, or does it make no much difference? I am considering AMD A10-5800K Versus Intel i3-3225 for my next build; the AMD A10-5800K has more L2 cache, whereas the intel i3-3225 has more L3 cache. For a basic user like me does this l2 or l3 cache will make any much difference or not much? Thanks!

HI for your purposes it wont make a difference and you could go as low as using an intel atom (will be slow so dont) so go with what ever will work out cheaper for you.

Either of the 2 cpus you have chosen can run (with a good GPU) BF3 on ultra but i would go with the i3 3225 personally.

I will sure, but this thread has not given me that option, do you by chance know why some answers are not provided with "choosing the best answer"?

Because when you made this thread, you made it a discussion thread, not a question thread. Discussions dont have answers.
