i5 4430 OR fx 8350 + Gaming PC @ 40K
I need to assemble a new GAMING PC and so decided to go with AMD fx 8350 (since this is the flagship model with great gaming performance) but when i saw some TDF members to suggest i5 4430 also for some OPs, I got confused.
Since i am neither an AMD or Intel fan-boy and just want the pure raw performance, which CPU and MOTHERBOARD should I go for.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Gaming @ Ultra Settings with healthy frame rates (50+), Games - BF3, Crysis 3, Metro 2034
