The i5-4670K or the FX-8320?

I am looking at getting a 64GB SSD but not sure which model by SanDisk to go with. Any recommendations?

If you were doing new board, the real world difference between them isn't worth $100. Review websites by their own admission, use gaming scenarios that are designed to stress the cpu in ways that are largely not reflective of real world performance.

Last january, tech syndicate opened up a whole can of worms when they tested the 8350 against the 3570k and the 3770k and the 8350 beat them both 90% of the time. Even they were stunned. But tech syndicate doesn't use synthetic benches and uses only real world situations. So its not as big a gap as most users and reviews would suggest. And the FX is a whole lot cheaper.

All that said, you have the board. Your saving a lot of money there. 3570k is a no brainer in that scenario.

There were also a whole lot of flaws with their testing methodology - wish I could find the forum post criticising it... for the most part though, it really did question the disparity that other testers were seeing between the i5s and FX series. Also, Tek Syndicate are probably the best reviewers I've found - funny and bluntly honest.

Budget? I'd only go 120GB SSD minimum personally - once you've chucked your OS and a few programs on that 64GB it will be pretty full.

Actually the OS and programs are only what this SSD will be used for. It's so that I can then remove the oS from my 128GB SSD and use that just for games.

Ah ok. Well I guess it depends on your needs - how fast you need it to read&write.

 

[Legolas8181]

I'd like it to boot up Windows as fast as possible and the same with programs as well. I'd like to be able to boot up, load Chrome, open Google and shutdown without Googling anything inside a minute if that's possible.

The performance you get for the price you pay is very good, with the fx 8320
