OC'd FX-8150 or OC'd i5 2500k?

Using the computer for pretty much Youtube/Web browsing and Gaming...

Which do you think would be the best option to go with the AMD FX 8150 @ 4ghz or the i5 2500k @ 4ghz

Which ever one I get will be liquid cooled with a corsair h100, so as far as gaming use/temps...etc, what would you choose?

i5 2500K is the winner in terms of heavy gaming and combine it with a high end GPU, you have a solid build and you can overclock it up to 4.9 GHZ specially when you have H100 liquid cooling.

The more cores the better, its a pretty simple calc. Long term you cannot lose with the FX8150 or FX8350 platform.

Well, Im trying to build a machine to last a few years...

So for 1-2 years down the road, does the i5 still seem like a better choice for gaming?

From what I've seen the i5 and bulldozer are fairly close in benchmarks.. neither are "killing" the other one as far as scores go.. but do you think games will start using more than 4 cores withing 1-3 years?

Use this comparison to gauge what is most important for you.
