I am building a machine that will be primarily used for vmware workstation 9 and nested esxi environments. I am secondarily going to use this machine for gaming and hope to play games such as Ac4 and bf4. the machine will have 32gb of ram, and a mid range GPU.
I am able to purchase a 8350 for $290 NZ with 2yr warranty, OR a new 3770 for $320 Nz but only a month warranty. I have been content on going the way of amd due to the intel cpu having a $425 RRP, but this lower price has forced me to reconsider. Im looking for suggestions on which option is better for my needs? If anyone can inform me it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
