Amd fx 8350 vs i5 4690k for next gen..

[Svrco]

Hello guyz , I'm new here. I'd like to know which of this CPU will be better for next gen games.
This will be my first CPU build

Amd fx 8350
Asus sabertooth
R9 280x
8 GB ram
Xilence 1000w PSU
Corsair h105 liquid cooler

Or should I get
I5 4690k
R9 280x
8gb ram
Xilence 1000w PSU

Or should I go with some i7 with stock cooler?

... That's what I plan to get..
BTW. Can you recomand me motherboard (up to 160$) and some cooler (for slightly over clock) for Intel build..

You should get 16GB RAM, and an 800w PSU, what is your budget overall?

Either CPU will handle current generation just fine. With DX12 the AMD stands to see a larger improvement than the Intel. Hard to say what "next generation" titles will need or what the impact of loading an entire game into the ram pool will have which is going to be possible in the next 5 years but you can bet DX12 will finally have GPUs properly supplied with DX calls enabling really strong visuals. Do you plan to SLI/Crossfire or stick with single GPU? So do you plan for GTX 980/970 or 2X 960s? If you don't plan to SLI/Crossfire, I think 1kw PSU is over the top.

it all about budget.
first thing first. you won't be able to see much different on 1 video between Intel or AMD. "this is before DX12 and no one know whats going to happen after yet"
coolermaster 212 evo is a very budget cooling which works. can be pickup for about 30?35buk. I would go for Air cooling myself caz it easy to clean.
but there are also some nice all in one liquid cooling which are good. one way or the other. pick the right case first. one that will fit and easy to install for your cooling.
a few tips about motherboard. go for the higher chipset. for example if you want AMD fx you want the 990 not 970. the different can be as low as 12 buk usd.
another tips about computer noise. if that is a big thing to you. you may want to replace the fans to after market fan. no matter how much you pay for your case/heatsink. most of them come with cheap fan with a bit of a noise. so if noise is a big thing for you. you can always get some aftermarket one which will lower the noise.
why the 1000 pus? that would be a overkill for 1 gpu. but hey if it on sale in your area why not : ).
just hope you know rumor of next gen video card is going to be out soon. so you may want to wait and see if you don't need your computer now.
some say it will be out in back to school time.

About CPU:
If the PC is majorly for gaming, I would say get the i5 4690K, don't waste your money on i7 as performance will almost be the same or negligible.

About RAM:
Also stick with 8GB RAM. Its more than enough and is the proven sweet spot for gaming. Again getting 16GB RAM will give you almost the same or negligible performance difference.

About PSU:
Stick with that 1000W PSU "ONLY" if you plan to get another R9 280X for crossfire setup. Otherwise, I would say get a recommended 600W PSU with 30A on single +12V rail.

You're welcome! Have fun!

The FX-8350 will be just fine for gaming for a few years to come. If you want 5 - 7 year longevity I would go intel though and for an i5, I don't understand why you want an I7, they do not perform any better for gaming you are simply throwing cash out the window. Unless you are doing something else like Photoshop, CAD, video editing using ALL cores and wanting to have nice looking synthetic benchmarks an i7 is hard to justify for a gaming rig.

If your intent is to keep your system relevant for 5-7 years, I'd start with a MOBO which can support 32gigs of ram, so 4 slots, most of them do, I wouldn't go any higher than 850watts for PSU, in fact 750 is probably plenty unless you are going to SLI/crossfire. If you are intent on that it is wise to get a mobo that has two 16X PCI-E ports, most midrangers have a 16X and 4X port. I'd stick with SSD 250GB for your OS drive and USB external storage. Start with 1/2TB, and then when you fill that get another one and another one and another one. USB 3.0 is pretty awesome. If you keep to 2TB drives you can write everything on them onto another drive in a day or two.

I think the FX is a great choice because you can save money now, upgrade to a higher "i7 like cpu" later when you want to upgrade the mobo to DDR4 in 3 or 4 years when it becomes the new standard.
