Those two cpus in the links

Passmark-cpumark


Intel i5 3570k - 7,144 -Retails $217 - can be overclocked for better performance

ADM FX-4100- 4,028 - Retails $103

So the Intel beats the ADM choice by a long shot, and the build is cheaper?WTF
I have to disagree, Intel for sure wins high price but for most consumer levels Amd is on par if not better then Intel on a few levels. Like the AMD Phenom ii x4 955 performs better then intels i5 imho . Plus if you pair it with a gigabyte mobo you get gigabyte ulities which makes over locking and what not a breeze

i was actually thinking of just getting a little higer end model of the amd instead of the intel. my problem is making sure all the parts are compatiable i mean before id buy them i would ask an employe that knows his stuff if this will all work and see what will happen. gonna start shopping around hopefully will have enough by the end of the month i might be able to spend a few more bucks.

i think to make it easier ill just base mine off a ailen ware or something along those lines and just get the same parts and a different cage.

SAY WHAT!, my video card can display games and movies in 3d. Like the shit you wear glasses for . Probably never use it but still cool

Hell yeah its called Nivida 3D Vision or some shit , its cool to mess around with when your board . You just got to get like 40$ glasses from Wally world there wireless you can get em for like 25$ but those are wired .

So I based my price range on what it would cost to buy a "Apple desktop"

I ended up with

Cpu- Intel i7 3700k

motherboard - asus p867 pro

psu- 850watt sea-sonic

Video- 680 GTX nvidia

Bluray rw

case- corsair obsidian 650 d

storage -
ssd 128G for ruining OS and programs
1.5 T mechanical HDD for files

cool master heat sink
Mac, lol.

Nice set-up, now like all pc freaks I'm going to criticize.
For less money you could of went with the HD7970 which unexpectedly performs a hair better than the 680. And being it looks like you have a monster case the HD would of easily fit. Although the 680 runs cooler and that is hard to pass up.

Do you mean the 3770 and not the 3700? The 3770 is by far the best cpu in the 300-400 range. I'm a AMD guy, but like sunni said intel does have the market in performance currently, and there is no AMD cpu in the same league. Intel's third gen cores are amazing. If AMD does not come back with something special by mid-2013 I will be switching over to intel.

Next build start with a better mobo.

850 watts! Better to have more you'll never use than less.

A 200 dollar mid-tower, ouch.

Do you have Samsung ssd's? By far the best. Always a great idea to run os on ssd, some folks have yet to make this basic but important leap.

Anyway, enjoy!

120 is better than 175.

Good, that is a much better mobo than the one you listed before, not sure if the 3700 cpu even exists. And like I said and you already know the 3770 will kick some ass.

It's amazing how much prices have came down when comparing the performance of chips now to chips just a year or two old.

Please tell me you have a good monitor or three.

Don't laugh now, I haven't build a computer in years , so all my equipment is old









Dont worry that's next on my list, I got the 3770k to crunch numbers, not necessarily play games. Oh but I will try a few games out

Holy shit i cant even get into the Bios because it boots so fast took me 3 restarts to hit it in time.

Now thats what i like to see:-P

I want to check the temps at idle


oh ok the hold only happens when you shutdown completely , restart just flashes through it real quick

Hahah good old VGA ports ! If your video cards got the HDMI port just link it up to your hdtv . Fuck yea you'll have to try some Sky rim being the first , the new tomb raiders pretty bad ass and may I also suggest far cry infinite

That's pretty bad ass tho man she boots real quick eh , so you can only get into bios if you shut it down completely that's thanks to the ssd I would assume :)

so at stock 3.5GHz it runs at 31c

Its overclocked to 4.4GHz and its still at 31C

Guess its just my ambient temperature

I still have to get a anti-virus before i get a stress test to really see the temps for overclocking.
