11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I am trying to accommodate Windows Home Basic in this price. Also I have selected few components but I am unable to decide. Chosen components are:
For AMD System: FX-4300 + MSI 970A-G43 MoBo + Sapphire HD7750 + Corsair Value RAMs (2x4GB)
For Intel System: Core i3-3220 + Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H + Sapphire HD7750 + Corsair Value RAMs (2x4GB)
Guy at SMC International tells me that AMD system is better due to good Catalyst Driver support which will get me Max out of the system. Does it make sense?
Which will be a better investment? Any other suggestions are welcome.
