Good to hear you like your new setup! now play some skyrim on it with an enhanced graphic compilation and the wire mesh mod fix to make all the 2d items 3d. You will never go back.

That looks pretty sweet. Very nice set up.

Makes me want to build another.

I looked at your list of parts, all great parts. I love the AMD FX series, I have one in my current PC.

Yeah for me Intel dosen't give power but stability where amd is like a little less stable but Crap tons of power

Have to disagree with you there. Intel definitely puts out more powerful CPU's: intel currently and always have made more powerful CPU's. It's the same with Nvidia and AMD, Nvidia always has a more powerful card out. I've tried both sides, I definitely prefer Intel and Nvidia over the latter.

It must just be the intel processers I have owned I have had lots of core duo and i3 and had a i5 and they weren't that powerful I'm sure if I owned a powerful intel processor I would say something else

Really the main reason is the price this intel i5 is $230.00
It's 3.4 ghz quad core
My processor is 3.8 quad core it runs 3.8 I checked bios it is it was $99.99

I know it must be better in some way if its 130 bucks more but that fx gives me performance

And the Xeon holy crap they are expensive

Yeah intel is pretty pricey mainly because they have no competition. Intel's put off a lot less heat and run a lot faster, plus they have there overclock ability.

This card here Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K - Newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504) for 230, which may be the one you were talking about is a mid range cpu for Intel, but it's faster than any AMD cpu on the market atm. It's the best CPU at the movement as far as price for performance goes. Easily over clockable to 4.3 Ghz without having to increase the voltage, just need an after market cooler.

Here is a chart that ranks CPU's with there performance. It's pretty handy when upgrading:
Gaming CPU Hierarchy Chart - Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: December 2013 (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html)

Still though, for gaming it won't make a huge difference. If you're on a budget, it's best to get a decent cheap CPU and over clock, then pump out the extra cash for the graphics card. Very few games depend on heavily on your CPU.

I've got the one down from that I think,
running the Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge CPU @ 3.2GHz

[Imperial_Kade]

Are you playing games on that pc knibbler?

[Knibbler]

yeah, quite happily playing most games on high settings running only 4gb ram and an old ATI Radeon 4850 graphics card

[Trunks]

I'm running A really old I5 card.

i5 750, one of the first of the i5 series. I play games perfectly, I can every game on ultra that I've tried. Apart from BF4, I can only run on Medium, but that's from my GPU not my CPU. CPU really doesn't make a huge difference in gaming.

[Imperial_Kade]

I really hope my card latest long which it probaly won't every 1 is telling me Asus isn't as trustworthy and long lasting if it fails probaly will get a msi card

[Trunks]

I've always went with Evga or XFX for graphic cards, I prefer Evga. I've never had one fail on me, I've always upgraded before one went bad.

[Imperial_Kade]

Cool thanks definitely look into some of those!
