AMD A8 7650K or A8 6600K???

[lazo1999]

I have recently heared about a8 6600k.. Until i found out about it I was that a8 7650k was the best option for my new system... (low-med price and medium gaming perfomance). Now I feel a little bit confused and worried.. It is a fact that a8 6600k haw better specs, at least on first sight.. higher base clock freaquency, higher igpu freaquency.. But! As I see in sites and bechmarks most of them present a8 7650k as a lot better choice, while others (not many) follow the numbers of GHz's. What should I believe?

ok look man, all amd cpu's have insanely high clock speed and a lot of cores, but somehow they still get out performanced by the intel i5 4690k, while it has less clock speed and less cores, but hey, clock speed and cores doesnt tell you everything. there is something like cache, and a lot of other features.

ok understood.. Thanks a lot man!! And great examlpe!! going straight for 7650k

are there any other options? i really want you to have the best performance out of you're budget

oh! and something else i forgot to ask.. Gpus' main characteristic is basic freaquency especially if we are talking about igpu.. I mostly want the pc for gaming use.. overall performance may be better.. but it is actually second in my preferences.. 6600K has a better igpu.. (844 MHz) and 7650K lower.. (720 MHz) should I still prefer 7650K??

when talking about options.. I think no.. I have searched for a while to find a cpu and gpu altoghether for a bit more than 100 Euros, and best (always considering firt of all money) is a cpu with a igpu.. Any other ideas?

ok ok ok, let me explain. If you do care about you're money, get that 6600k, if you do care about that 100 bucks (i do, so you can spend 100 bucks more on a better gpu) go with the 7650k, yes it's integrated graphics are slightly worse, but with that 100 bucks you can buy an graphics card that is better than the integrated graphics, or now you can afford a 100 bucks pricier gpu, i would definently go with the 7650k
