Hey guys, I'm having a bit of A problem choosing a processor here. In about a month and a half i will be ordering parts for a new PC that i will be using for
Browsing teh interwebs
messing with android applications and the SDK
doing homework
image and video editing, nothing too fancy but high quality is good
and a a bit of gaming in the future
my problem is that the more i read about the AMD vs Intel battle, the harder it is to choose a processor.
i am torn between the i7 2600k/2700k, the i5 3570k and the i7 3770k (if i go with the ivy bridge chip it's really to use the integrated graphics for a few months till i have money for a discrete card) and the FX 8150.
everyone seems to think that the intel processors are better no matter what, is this true? or are there areas where the FX can match/surpass them? Is there ever really any reason that anyone should ever choose AMD over intel?
i will be putting either a gigabyte z77 or z68 board on the intels, and an asrock extreme on the FX, both would have 8GB of 1600 Mhz G.Skill Ram, 2TB of seagate barracuda's (4x500GB) in RAID 0+1, and eventually (hopefully) either an AMD Radeon HD 6870 or a Nvidia GTX 560ti, which would you choose?
Thanks guys i really appreciate it. BTW, this is the site i based my decision (so far) from
PassMark Software - CPU Benchmark Charts Seems Legit, right?
