mcwillzz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Amd processor I prefer I can put together another build if you want, but I wouldn't really recommend anything AMD.... maybe an older Phenom II but not an FX series processor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajolt Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I can put together another build if you want, but I wouldn't really recommend anything AMD.... maybe an older Phenom II but not an FX series processor Why not? My build runs amazingly with an fx 6 core @ stock speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youthedog Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I can put together another build if you want, but I wouldn't really recommend anything AMD.... maybe an older Phenom II but not an FX series processor FX runs perfectly fine, I have a 6300 overclocked at 4.3, with a 7870, getting perfect fps in source, along with Gmod, Hitman, CS:GO, and Assassin's creed 3..

Just based on benchmarks and what I saw when the FX series came out, core-per-core Ivy Bridge CPU's will obliterate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Intel will always blow an amd out of the water with benchmarks. AMD is a budget builders dream, but based on your budget italk an intel chip is a much better choice for gaming. AMD will run fine, but if you are looking for the best performance then intel is the only choice. I used to love amd, but since the bulldozer release they've just been pushing out let down after let down.

Wookiefister Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819113284 AMD's newest, fastest 8 core Never ever get a Bulldozer. That is AMD's newest, but it isn't their fastest, their fastest is the Phenom II processers. If I were you I would go with a i5-2500k or i5-3570k, if you have some extra room in your budget. If you don't a Phenom II x4 is a great second choice. Edited January 28, 2013 by Wookiefister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, my 6 core FX 6200 (stock speeds) is incredibly fast. Faster than my Dads Phenom II computer with barely anything on it and the same RAM.

Wookiefister Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Grease lightning that depends on what phenom II your dad has, a phenom II x2 could easily get outperformed by a FX series processor where as a phenom II x4 black edition could not be outperformed by any FX series processor. Also I said to stay away from bulldozer processors not FX processors the FX-8xxx processors are the bulldozers, the FX-6xxx, FX-4xxx, FX-3xxx, or FX-2xxx series processors are not.
