Intel or Amd

[TheGamer365]

budget is anything but I will only be doing 3d game programming, and rendering, game development, beginner PC gamer I will be trying it out with this build rig Amd is cheaper and for what I do that seems to be the best options but can I get some suggestions?

Hello... here is general listing of CPU rankings and prices... http://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html Those AMD 8 cores are about half the $ per performance right now it seems.

For rendering, the i7 is a very good series. If you do not want to spend too much however, you can go with the AMD FX-8350 which is a very good CPU for the price.

for gaming, intel i5 or i7 will be much better overall than any amd cpu's. but the 8350 is a good all round cpu for threaded rendering/encoding apps and such, is cheaper than comparable intel's, still games very well on some games, but there are a few games that dont run so well on amd cpu's due to not being able to use its many cores, and it has lower per-core performance than intel equivelants.

How about the i7 4930k? or the i7 4770k like you guys said? and also with what graphics card?

That depends mostly on budget. If you have no budget at all, the 4930k paired with a 780 Ti or 290x will be a great computer for rendering and gaming.

Budget? Can go around forever on pros and cns of CPUs at different pricepoints, better if we have an idea of what you can and want to spend

I can spend up to 2500.

I can spend up to 2500.

If you will be using the PC for mostly rendering and CAD work, I'd get the i7-4930X.

If you will be using the PC for mostly gaming, I'd get the i7-4770k.

i7 either 4770K or even 3770K

4770k is still very good for cad and rendering, unless your a professional and time = money, not worth the extra money to get the 4930x to shave a few seconds off rendering times.
