Two oldies:
FX-8350 and Asus M5A99X Motherboard
i7-870 and Asus P7P55D-E LX Motherboard
If you were limited to just those two, which would you choose?
The slower 870 has 4 cores and Hyper-threading, but the faster 8350 has 8 "crippled" cores.
Gaming at FHD 60Hz. Games are not mainly all shooters, but CPU intensive.
Graphics card is yet to be determined. Suggestions welcomed.
I know most of you will say save your money and buy something newer, but that isn't up to me.
Which would be the best old timer to build an everyday PC from that will also be capable to game with at FHD 60Hz?
