AMD FX 9590 Overclocked vs I7 4790k Overclocked (for gaming)

[44borna]

In a gamer and im making a computer. I heard that the i7 4790k is best stock gaming card andi heard amd's best gaming card is fx 9590 and thats it is easily overclocked. Now i was windering of i overclocked BOTH would the 4790k still be better?

The 4790K will blow the 9590 away. A 4690K will be enough for gaming though.

There is absolutely no reason to get a 9370/9590. An i7 will blow it away, but an i5 is enough for gaming.

idk.. from what i see a i5 can be a disadvantage in some games.. like in bf4 the i7 and 8350 are looking on top

 

[airplanegeek]

The 8350 is top in very few games, and for the extra money spent on an i7, the framerate increase isn't worth it

In some games AMD's more cores have the advantage but it's mostly dominated by Intel really.
