I promise I am not trying to start a debate, this is a legitimate concern of mine.
In my PC I am building (I do not have any of the parts yet, I am just building it "on paper" until I get the money) I am using an Intel CPU.
However, I cannot afford an Nvidia GPU (at least not one that will give me the performance I want) so I am going for an AMD GPU.
I have heard some people saying that Intel pairs best with Nvidia, and that AMD GPU's do not mix well with Intel CPU's, and that PC's that mix those parts don't work as well as they should.
Is this true? Or will my i5 3570k work with say... a HD 7950?
Thanks in advance.
