Hey all I am trying to build a gaming rig under 800 bucks and I am stuck at what processor to choose...
AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition -- $116
Intel i5 2500k -- $219
Obviously pricing and power is what im concerned with. I want a gaming computer that I can run crysis 2 and BF3 on. I am going to get a 200 + ish dollar graphics card if that helps. What should I do ?!
EDIT : I decided to go with the i5 2500k processor.
My next question is ... How much ram do I need... 4gb of 1600 or 8gb of 1600 ?
