Hey /g/, I havn't been in the game for 3 years and I'm not quite sure where to take this next build.
I made two builds for about $1k, an AMD and an Intel build. I don't care about AMD's record of running hot as I won't be running close to benchmark temps and they come with the new Wraith cooler which seems ok just fuckhuge. Which option is better? Should I just wait for the Ryzen instead and the new MOBO to go with it or will that be priced out of a $1k build?
AMD FX-8370 4ghz (Factoring in a free Wraith cooler it's half the price of the i7)
>Build total is $1k, could be $800 on sale
>Looks like limited MOBO options, and I can only go DDR3 2400
Intel i7 6700k 4ghz (Or maybe the i5 6600 to save $100?)
>Build total is $1200 but on sales less than 1k
>Looks like more MOBO options than AMD? PC Parts Picker says I can go DDR4 3000
>All other options are identical in this build
i5-6600k is a solid deal. I'd wait for Zen but reviews/prices won't exist until march.
FX-8*** series is OKAY. In some single threaded DX9/10/11 games it'll be a bottle neck. I had an FX-8350 for 2 years I upgrade to a i7-4790k just because it limited me to ~60-70 FPS in some games. (I have a 144Hz monitor).
