AMD Fx 8350 or core i5 4670k for nextgen games ???

[sabutoros]

iam building my first ever gaming rig !!
i have finalized on these two rigs ... iam really confused to choose which one of the two will run the nextgen games better .....

the rigs are :

gpu: zotac gtx 760 AMP 2gb ddr5
processor: core i5 4670k 3.4ghz LGA1150
motherboard: Asus Z87-A
Ram: 2X4 gb corsair vengeance ddr3
PSU : corsair GS600W (600watts)
hardisk : 1tb seagate
aircooler: coolermaster hyper evo 212


OR


gpu: zotac gtx 760 AMP 2gb ddr5
processor :
AMD FX-8350 4ghz
motherboard :
Asus M5A99FX Pro
Ram : 2X4 corsair vengeance ddr3
psu: corsair vengeance GS600W
harddisk:
1tb seagate
Air cooler : cooler master hyper evo 212

which of the two rigs will be better ???
i want to play watch dogs on ultra ......
the game needs a 8 core processor for that...... so going for a fx 8350 with a nvida gpu over a i5 4670k better ??

and if i go for the fx 8350 rig ....then its corresponding motherboard asus M5A99FX only supports
PCIe X16 2.0 but the gpu card is 3.0 ......
so will it reduce performance on using 3.0 card on a PCIe X16 2.0 ????

and is a 600W psu enough ??

and i also heard that the nextgen games will be multithreaded ones rather than single threaded one....
so is really getting a fx8350 over a i5 4670k preferable?

sorry for these many questions being asked 😀 ! iam totally new to this.....

thanks in advance

BF4 in open beta with fraps running?

Do you even know what I'm meaning with mainthreads?

the latest mantle update helps tackle this issue apparently...and somebody just said abt disabling the unused cores for better performance...

Developers wants money, so the need to make their game playable by the most. So the try to optimize it for what most of their playerbase have.

imo, thats not the correct method of "optimization"...this method SHOULD soon change...

Optimize to my understanding means making it the most effective. So when I say optimize for the playerbase hardware, they will make the game run best possible for that. It wont change before people actually need a reason to change their dual cores.

Do you even know what I'm meaning with mainthreads?

yes i do...i aint a complete noob after all...

Then you wouldn't have disagreed with my statement.

i never disagreed...i was simply stressing on optimization for the amd's 8 thread cpus...

First AMD FX doesn't have 8 cores, and they wont perform as 8 cores.

i know...its 4C/8T but windows resource monitor does show it as 8 cores...

 

[vmN]

It is showed as 8 threads not cores.
Also it is a little more complicated than 4c/8t

yeah 4 cores, 8 logical processors...

Also it is a little more complicated than 4c/8t

This is my understanding of it: It has four Piledriver modules, each of which contains a pair of integer cores. While AMD markets these as individual CPU cores, each module’s pair of integer cores shares a number of resources, including the fetch and decode units, a Floating Point scheduler (FPU) and 2MB of L2 cache. So, it is not a true 8 core cpu.

 

[vmN]

Well it isn't integer cores. It is units. ALU

It is actually one core with duplicated components.
Like integer execution pipeline and memory pipeline. SR did also add decoder pipelines.

Also the floating point scheduler isn't FPU. Floating Point Unit.
Note: Intel doesn't have a floating point scheduler, they are using a unified scheduler if I remember correctly.

[ultimate gamer dbz]

games like bf4 and crysis 3 uses up to 4 cores

 

[Advanced Micro Devices]

Look games will take 4-6 years to utilize more then 4 cores because currently half of the PC gamers are dual cores and 30% are quad core and 20% are 8 core.

What games will take 4-6 to utilize more than 4 cores. you are wrong battlefield 4 fully utilizes the 8 cores of the fx 8350 and if the fx is over clocked it will out form the i7 3770k is multitreaded games.

You shouldn't go for the 8350. The i5 4670k is slightly faster, not much, but faster. So go for the intel build

It is $100 more so for being slightly better I would go for the fx 8350. Plus I am building my own too and am getting the fx 8350.
