I5-2500k vs FX-8350 Black Edition

[paul2906]

I'm building a new gaming pc, and I found those two CPUs near my budget. I guess both of them are fine, but which one is the best for a gaming pc?

The 8350 bests the 2500k. I'd go with AMD if those two are your options. You'll be better future-proof and performance-wise the FX-8350 should outperform the 2nd generation i5 2500k.
