The 2500K will be much better than an A8-3870K in every conceivable way. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/399?vs=288 Not a direct comparison, but close enough to tell the story.

You're not looking for a performance vs. performance analysis, though I imagine, just cost vs. performance. The A8-3870K will do for gaming on a budget and is a decent buy for the price, but the 2500K will be much better in games and for everything outside of gaming too. You'll have to decide how much that means to you.

Edit: Obviously, the 2500K will be WORSE than an A8-3870K based on the iGPU performance, so if you can't afford a discreet card, the 3870K is the way to go.

well u selec t 3850 k not 3870k perhaps u should read my topic first

LOL, I said RIGHT beside the link that it wasn't DIRECT comparison. You didn't read what I said. The two are only 100Mhz apart in speed though, so they're damn close to the same thing. Do the research and you'll see.

Regardless, read my edit to the post above.

lol i appreciate your comment but the topic is gaming wise budget

Yeah, that's why I edited my original post above to say go with the 3870K if you can't afford a GPU to go with the 2500K + mobo. It won't ever beat the 2500K if the 2500K is paired with a discreet GPU, but it'll beat it when iGPU's are compared. For a cheap gaming system, the 3870K is just fine. I just wouldn't get one myself...

thanks mate for pleasure all well lol

this seems like an "intel suck because its expensive" post. If so, please stop. You could get an i3 2125, or a 2400s or any other intel processor, if the price bothers you that much. the 2500k will be a relevant processor for like 5 years, wile the a8 will NOT. (assuming this is for gaming etc). the cost is a side effect of that. id just save up some more money. in the long run, the pric isnt THAT much more, and it will last a long long time. also, the integrated graphics on the 3570k isnt really all that great, anyways. its basically a gt 220 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4448/amd-llano-desktop-performance-preview/3

intel have market share and public reference also that why people didn't consider they just follow the name brand name not specification amd is better for budget review
400 $ gaming u get cpu+ crossfire/sli mobo and investing in 200 % u get a gpu

 

[rdx07]

i go for intel...as of the moment, intel cores are the best for the budget and performance price ratio

 

[monu_08]

its all depend user choice intel amd good ones

 

[rdx07]

i side not on intel nor amd, but if you read benchmarks and reviews, you'll find out that intel beats amd even at budget range processors and most likely, i5 2500k will take you longer than 3870k for upgrades

Not sure I catch your point, OP.

 

[u_hsen]

damn, I saw your title and i thought you were aiming at a $200 gaming pc. i was like . that must be like amd athlon 2 6400 with 4gb ddr2 ram with 9800gtx...
