AMD stuff is cheaper and is good enough for gaming. A fully decked out intel PC is overkill and a waste of money. A good enough amd rig would cost around 400$ if you build it yourself.

Also, nothing wrong with using DDR3 ram. DDR4 means a more expensive mobo and processor.

i3-6100/mobo/128ssd/case+power supply isnt much more, then pay w/e you want for a graphics card. yes i3 is dual core, but its hyperthreaded, so 4 threads still. imo best budget cpu unless the new kabby lake 7350k ends up overclocking well as its gonan be ~140$ range i hear, could be the best bang for the buck cpu.

edit as other user said. intel donkey flops on amd atm. and i want amd to be good.

When the new build first posts- enjoy the sounds smells and tastes.!?! To the fullest for complete nueral restructuring and reprogramming/rewiring - as u are now a real pc gamer at that moment .... But only if taken in correctly and with elitist intent !!!! This is very important young Jedi.

This is my free million dollar tip to u , only because u follow the path of the p1999 and the Everquest. Most info this valuable is stumbled upon- not given !!! This must make u favored with the gods i suppose.... Either way take it , it is yours.

True but performance is capped by what video game your playing. Most intel stuff is overkill for this generation of video games. 60 fps is the what your after and amd does that.

games are relative, try running dolphin or cemu on amd. its regrettable.

AMD's whole marketing shtick the last couple iterations was "look at all these cores zomg so many cores you're not gonna believe how many cores we got!"

The problem is, individually each core is muuuuch weaker than those found in an Intel CPU, and the vast majority of games including Everquest use a single core.

ding ding, correct answer. i mean if i did a ton of vmware id get amd tho, and assign each instance to a thread.

I'm not debating which is better. I'm saying amd is good enough for gaming and cheaper. If your not worried about cost than intel would be the way to go.

my point was its not much difference, and the performance is worth, you can get that for ~300-400 what i listed.

oh no. intel processor means intel mobo means nvidia gpu. The cost will add up and be substantially more than an amd variant.
