Ok, so.
I am currently planning on building a new rig. I thought all along that yep, I will go with Intel cause they are better etc etc. But I've always had a little voice in the back of my mind going, why not AMD? After watching some youtube vids from Tech Syndicate and JayzTwoCents (who are both very unbiased, thank god), AMD is starting to seem to me not necessarily a bad choice. Jayz said that the most wasted upgrade was going from the FX-8350 to intel (I think the 3770k). Tek Syndicate has being doing some benchmarking on the 8350 and the 4690k, and yeh, there may have been 1 or 2 fps here and there but it was negligible. Also, the 8350 bet the i5 in just as many games as the i5 bet the 8350. I decided that if I went with AMD, I would go all out. I'm thinking of going with the 9590, which is 400$(including the water cooler). Now, I am mostly a gamer, BUT I would like to start a youtube channel, so would the 9590 also be good at rendering and recording? And yes, I know it's really really hot and and consumes lots of power, but I couldn't give two s***t's really. I would like some unbiased answers, and if anyone has had first hand experience with the 9590, let me know.
Cheers
BTW I'm getting a Seasonic 850 psu, which is enough to power it. Also either the 29 290 or GTX 770/780
