Question Phenom 1100T upgrade. 5000 series CPU not strong ?

How are they calculating this
Simple, favoring Intel and downplaying AMD. Userbenchmark is known to be biased towards Intel.

Better look other comparisons,

Diff ~4x times or so.

Decent list. However, Corsair RMe is mediocre quality. I'd get better quality unit.

For proper PSU for a gaming rig, Tier A is proper.
Like: Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi, Super Flower Leadex Gold/Platinum/Titanium.
PSU tier list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...JWkc/edit?pli=1&gid=1973454078#gid=1973454078

Tier A- will do too, while Tier A+ is preferred.
(My 3x PCs are solely powered by Tier A PSUs. Namely, i have Seasonic PRIME 650 Titanium (Tier A+), Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650 Titanium (Tier A+) and Seasonic Focus PX-550 (Tier A). Full specs with pics in my sig.)
