Hello, a friend has recently asked me to build her a computer. The budget is 1000, and an OS is needed. She already has a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers. She will be using the computer for gaming, photoshop, and running a Minecraft server.
Feel free to suggest a build, however my main question is...Which processor would be better for her, considering that overclocking is not an option?
AMD
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT90ZFBGRBOX
or
Intel
Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500
Without overclocking I doubt that the Intel would be better. I am thinking with overclocking=Intel, without overclocking=AMD. Would that be correct?
