Hi All,
I am planing to upgrade from my system (which is a Pentium 4 lol) , I have been looking at these CPUs:
1. Core 2 Quad Q8400
2. AMD Athlon II X4 630
Well , both are quads so both will be good, but the difference of 2 MB cache makes the Q8400 makes it so expensive, as compared to AMD 630?
also I am going for a Gaming PC with a 5770, from which threads I've read the CPUs aren't the ones that increase the FPS (or maybe I am wrong) .
also I am going for a "under 150$" Crossfire motherboard , just to be future proof .
so which one gives more performance guys, is Intel worth the extra cash or just overpriced?
I will also be doing like HD movies and multi-tasking (I know the video card will take the movies).
also anyone knows some good AM2+ motherboards?
Thanks Everyone,
Razor GT
