What are you doing with it?

EDIT: Gaming? Overclocking?

Let me say this, if you're going to be doing mostly productivity, the AMD will be effective and save you money. If you're going to be gaming, and want to go Intel, the 3570k is a better buy than the 4670k. You will get virtually identical performance in games and save yourself on the order of $60 or more depending on the components you choose.

For gaming, the 3570k has a slight edge over the 8350...it's usually about 3-5 FPS .

Even Tom's Hardware does not recommend the 4670k for a gaming CPU. They recommend the 3570k.

Mostly gaming,music production and some photoshop/3d rendering

 

[GiorgosKorn]

Well i actually want to save some money so i was actually hoping someone telling me if these 40 euros that the i5 costs more would worth against the 8350

 

[8350rocks]

Honestly...in gaming the 8350 is fine. If money is a bigger concern, then the 8350 will be more than enough for nearly any game out there.

 

[GiorgosKorn]

What about music production and rendering tha t imentioned above?

 

[8350rocks]

The 8350 is better at rendering for sure...music production can be program dependent but it should be fine there as well. You're honestly probably better off with the 8350 if you do as much or more of that than you do gaming.

 

[GiorgosKorn]

I am doing anything all of them are part of my daily schedule gaming/music production/rendering so 8350 would be fine or go for the i5? and two more things... if i choose 8350 how many years would it last? and what case should i take the carbide400r or zalman z11 plus?

 

[GiorgosKorn]

Everything*

 

[8350rocks]

I actually like the Zalman Z11 Plus, I built my system with it.

The 8350 should last you a good while. I think you'll be fine. The i5 is actually worse at rendering and heavily multithreaded tasks like editing, etc.

The 8350 makes more sense for you. If all you did was game, then Intel would be a good fit too, but with your rendering and music needs, the 8350 should be a better performer for less money.

 

[GiorgosKorn]

Alright I think i came to a conclusion with the 8350 build and i will see about the case. One last thing 550watt power supply is fine?

8350 along with the 7790 will run games like bf3 fc3 crysis3 etc...?

 

[8350rocks]

I would go to a HD 7850 for a little more money...

Something like this:

[GiorgosKorn]

Well this card costs 200 euros here in greece while the 7790 costs 150 euros i am going to check out the benchmarks to see whst better for my needs in this

Thank you for your time

 

[8350rocks]

NP...please select a best solution.

 

[GiorgosKorn]

I will go for the 8350 now i am going to see what GPU i will put on... thank you again...se you at the forums...actually when i buy this baby i am going to tell you my opinion
