I'm building a new desktop, all the parts are arriving by tomorrow. I decided to go with the amd fx 8320 because it was within my budget and it had good overclocking capabilities and since I'm using a water cooler with it I'll be able to crank out higher speeds. I guess my question is should i return the 8320 and look into intel? or is it a good processor and I shouldn't be worrying?
