Is there an amd side to it or is it intel all the way?
Is there an amd side to it or is it intel all the way?
I would go Intel, but if you wanted to look into AMD, I would start with this....Newegg.com - AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6300WMHKBOX
any others?
THE 6300 IS A BEAST, and the motherboards are much cheaper(£10) i will go with the 6300:)
The FX-6300 is apparently comparable to the i3-3220/25. These intels are a bit cheaper in my part of the world.
I think it might be a bit like your preference for cars. Some prefer Intel others AMD.
thx but in scan.co.uk i managed to design one with a fx-6300,8gb ram, 500watt psu fractal case and 970 motherbaord for only £259
My prices are Australian dollar prices and include a 10% GST (your VAT equiv). Note also that Australia is a much smaller domestic market than both the UK and US. This means I would expect UK and US prices to be lower.
(Aus$ and US$ are very close to parity)
Good luck with your build you have come in way under your budget which you have to be happy with. :)
if you go for cheapo mobos without dropping quality (and overclockability) check AsRock's stuff. They manage to get 50 to 70 $ lower than everyone else. You do lose some, but it may be worth it.
I'd also personally prefer a cheapo 10 $ recycled home server case and invest the money in better GPU.
