So I am building a budget gaming pc and am wondering what would work well for me.
So I am contemplating an AMD Phenom II with an AMD3+ board, total setup with mobo would cost about 200ish.
or an i3 2120 with mobo for about the same price.
Why I like AMD over Intel is for the mere fact that the board would be usable for the next series of Piledriver CPU's, which I have high hopes for.
Intel boards well, they only work for that one socket set.
Also, I am wondering if either processor series would bottleneck an Nvidia 560ti.
Please let me know what you guys think!
