[skrillek]

im looking for just the processor, motherboard, and ram for a new pc.
iv been looking and i don't know if intel is worth the price compared to AMD

Eruption Quad Core AMD 3.6GHz + 8GB Memory Motherboard Kit | Maplin
or
Intel® i5-3570K 3.8GHz + Asus P8Z77-V LX + 8GB Memory Motherboard Kit (Used) | Maplin

Ideally i want 16gb 1600mhz of ram quadcore 3.6ghz processor and any motherboard with at least 2 usb3 ports.

Intel is good but the price is high and the one i like isnt quad core. amd is cheaper but i dont know how good it will be.

i will be gaming and video editing.

also with my gpu nvidia gforce gtx 650 1g ddr5, will it take 2 1920 - 1080 monitors?

Hi,

Personally, I love Intel processors. I agree with you that they are expensive and sometimes "over priced" as well.

But, that can not be the reason not to buy Intel. I found a link Intel VS AMD CPUs for you to check.

 

[skrillek]

just like the other websites. damn do you know if the intel i linked has more than one cores?

From the link provided in your OP.

Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)

# of Cores 4
# of Threads 4

It clearly says, it has 4 cores.
It will be multiple core processor. It is the 3rd generation.

great thanks for some reason i couldn't see that fml. would you say it is a good processor for the price? and i can play mw3 on my pc now with decent fps. can you guess how much better it would be? but if not i still think this will be my choice.

 

[skrillek]

yep, im getting this one thanks!

With the specs mentioned in your profile and the processor (Intel i5), you will be able to play MW3, Battle filed 4 and COD Ghosts as well.

Happy gaming.

FPS will be very decent.

If you go for the Intel route there's a much better option an extra £30 gets you a Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.2GHz Overclocked Haswell Gaming PC Bundle with 8GB ram & a much better cooler.

Looking at the pic it looks like Mushkin RAM, do they have an exact model of the ram listed anywhere?

Personally, I would get a motherboard and cpu together, but I would choose the exact amount, type, and make of memory I wanted separately.
