This. The only way that AMD would ever make sense in a build is if you do almost zero gaming.
Theyre not unusable, but coming from a pretty stout fx8150 8 core amd system to a haswell, the difference is lightyears. I thought everyone was paid by intel on the internet to say how much better it was. But I was tired of the stuttering in my games, sold my amd stuff and bought into intel. It was a good decision.
Kind of an expensive PSU, no?AMD is bad. The ram is overpriced, and you don'y need 16gb. The power supply is garbage. For the price of that case I'd get an Antec 300 V2. And that SSD is mediocre at best, you can get Samsung 830/840's with 120gb for that price on sale.
Here you go. If you want spend some more on the mobo. This is a solid build with future potential by upgrading to 16gb of ram, and upgrading the graphics.

Note: I only chose that CPU due to combo with the SSD.
It's also all from Newegg so instead of tons of seperate orders you can buy it all at once. You're Welcome.
If you think thats expensive what do you think a cooler master silent pro gold 1200 watt is?
The problem with AMD is that they are significantly inferior for gaming, and there isn't an insane price difference between AMD and Intel. Now, if your average intel i5 3570K was like $500 or something, then AMD would be a viable option based on the money difference, the performance hit might be worth it to some people, but when you're comparing Intel vs AMD and you may only save $50 or less by going with AMD, that is definitely not worth the severe performance hit in my opinion.
Ya it's red alright...but the first pic is the system on with the lights on. The middle 2 are with the lights off. Since I have my PC in my living room and not by bedroom, Kenny Rogers Roasters is free to glow in all its glory.
