I already have a PSU Rosewill Capstone 750W 80+ Gold
AMD Build:

Intel Build:

Also if I go with the AMD build, is it worth to get a cpu cooler? (not overclocking)

Yeah but Mantle is AMD's own release. Just like Nvidia's Physx. I was talking about the game itself, and how well it runs on the hardware sides, not "features"

And how has nvidia not played fair? Just by helping the dev make the game work on their hardware?

He said Nvidia pays game developers to optimize the game for them better (or prevent AMD from getting good optimization for their hardware). Something like that is what I heard. And yes this isn't a fact it's just something that was told to me. If you want to find out more do some research I really don't have the time.

Then please don't post rumor as fact. It doesnt help anyone.

I never said it was a fact why do you keep bringing this up?
Anyways, I'm done here. Pointless posts helping noone isn't what Tomshardware is for.

You did. You didn't say "I think" or "in my opinion", you just said "Comparing AMD GPU's to Nvidia is actually not right, simply because Nvidia doesn't like to play fair.". One of the biggest parts of this forum is comparing hardware and selecting the correct part...

Anyway, I totally agree, but baseless posts like that only spread false rumors around the forum, which helps no one.

AMD does not compare to Intel. Maybe in 2003 they had a chance. This isn't even a question anymore. Intel all day. And I used to only buy AMD processors and ATI cards. Intel and Nvidia are the only option for building a PC IMO.

Right now, for a gaming build, yes. That might (or will) however change with the r9 300 series launching, looks very promising right now. Let's just hope they don't set the r9 390x' price too close to a titans.

Yea the AMD cards definitely match up if you are comparing benchmarks and FPS. And they might be a little bit cheaper. There drivers are crap tho, and I refuse to mess around with them anymore.
