CPU selection help

[dedline]

Hey guys,

I was curious what your thoughts are on future purchase for a new gaming rig. I have always gone AMD in the past, but my cpu is old although lastest 5 years and done a great job.

I am looking at these two cpus, if you can give me pros and cons on both for gaming and normal everyday internet multitasking, I would appreciate it.

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+

or

Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell Quad-Core 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Desktop Processor

For gaming,an i5 is a better choice.

Is an i7 worth spending the money on, or is the i5 plenty?

Yea,you can go for an i7.
But I would still go for an i5 4690K,which is enough for gaming.
If you do video editing and rendering and that kinda stuff,i7 is a way better choice.
All the best.
