Hello everyone. Firstly, I apologize for beating around the same popular bush but I need an honest opinion to finalize my list of items. After asking many many people and researching my hair off I learned that AMD and Intel are exactly same more or less when it comes to daily practical usage be it gaming or other memory-processing intensive tasks. There's a difference however and that's intel is better when it comes to benchmarks, yes I know all of it's CPUs overtake AMDs CPUs but that's pretty much limited to tests and benchmarks, which I don't really care about as their performances in real life are identical, also I should mention by now that I'm on a budget. Besides the negligible difference (Intel is 'slightly' better), I found almost nothing special about Intel. Please correct me as it could be that I'm wrong. What matters for me is that my processor doesn't falter and mobo keeps going for at least 2-3 years which is enough as I can upgrade after that. But right now my budget is tight and besides the cpu and mobo, my build is as under..
