It's very close performance, but the E4300(P.S Also Overclocks like a Dog) takes the lead many times. check the charts your self too

Normally I'd go with Intel, but since you don't overclock and have a limited budget maybe AMD is a good idea too. AMD motherboards tend to be cheaper than Intel motherboards, so overall you may save some cash with AMD. Either will be fine, throw a coin :lol:

Sound advice - either will do, but AMD mobo will be slightly cheaper.

You also get more chance of being able to keep your mobo when upgrading your CPU in the future.

but intel mobos are cheaper here
amd's cheap boards are not available here
so i guess i'll have to go with intel
