Discussion I5-4670 system vs fx-8350 system

[Davidino]

Hi, which system is better?
I have two spared motherboard sets and I was wondering which one is better for school tasks and games like Fortnite, valorant, csgo, wot Blitz and minecraft.
First system:
I5-4670
Asus Z97 pro gamer
16gb ddr3
Gtx 650 2gb
M.2 ssd (not sure yet how much gb I will purchase)

Second system:
Msi 970 gaming
Amd fx-8350 safely overclocked
16gb ddr3
Gtx 650 2gb
128gb adata ssd and 500gb wd green

I think the i5-4670 is newer/faster and has support for m.2 storage. But the fx-8350 is still also a good cpu and can handle some modern games. Personally the fx-8350 set looks cleaner and I also have the cool io shield. I cant find the io shield of the i5-4670 set. What are your thoughts on this?

The Intel. But I wouldn't mess with an NVMe on that old motherboard. More hassle than benefit. Get a SATA SSD.

Intel system is better.
But m.2 slot runs in PCIE 2.0 x2 mode. It is 4 times slower than normal PCIE 3.0 x4 M.2 slot. Just slightly faster than sata 2.5" SSD.
Not worth to get M.2 drive for that system.

I already thought so, but how much better is the i5-4670 compared with the fx-8350. Are the 8 cores a benefit, or doesnt it really make a difference. Also, a few years from now. Will the i5-4670 still be a reliable cpu?

Anything of an equivalent age is better than the FX.

And do NOT bother with an M.2 drive, of any type.

Do it yeah let's see what they look like. I don't really know what any of that stuff actually means with the more faster cores. It would be nice to see I personally would not care especially if the game uses the graphics card more or less exclusively.

Send pictures of the systems?
