The point of a gaming machine is getting a more than decent cpu(so that it can last you for sometime) and spend the rest on the gpu.
The overall score in some benchmarks might suggest amd is not better than intel. But then amd is not competing in that direction, but rather trying to provide an all-rounder.
The fx8350 price is a bargain for the performance it provides. I cant think of an OCable package at a cheaper price. Additionally, the stock amd heatsink is much better than what intel provides (saving you the cost of buying a better cooling solution ).
HIS has some really good products. Confirm the details of their after sales service though.
hmmm, decent cpu ... and spend rest on gpu... seems ironically the fx 8350 is anything but that. oh so, amd is competing in an all rounder direction, wow. When all the op wants is a gaming pc, we are suggesting him an all rounder.. good good keep on going i like the way you post. Ocable package? wow, i think we should add this in websters dictionary, it should be coined the new word of the year. Better cooling solution ? when stock is 4.2 already? this is getting better everytime.
In future if things go the way FarCry 3 and Crysis 3 are going its better to have the FX8350. I somehow believe the FX is a better option keeping the future in mind. If steamroller makes it big ,I can just buy the CPU and wont have to throw my Motherbaord along with it. And way the games are using all the cores (4 and more) its good to have the FX which comes for Rs 11,400 and is overclockable and costs Rs 3000 less than a comparable Intel. Now if a I put this Rs 3000 in a better GPU then tell me who is the gainer here?
isnt that the same thing as 2 + 2 = 22 ?
believe, better option, future in mind. ? you cant make todays decision based on tomorrows future, a future so uncertain you dont even know wether the world will be overtaken by amd fanboys. yes, for a 10% performance gain after 2 years im going to ditch my fx 8350 and get a new steamroller such that the intel haswell beats it to dust . :O
3000 in a better gpu? the gtx 690 is struggling in crysis 3, if these benches are anything to go by. you are a " "to put 3k on a gpu which wont make the slightest difference.
You are not getting my point either.....the suggested processors are already Quad and more (similar) but its the savings had over one another will let me have a better GPU. Clear?
better gpu? lol understatement of the year
^^
Exactly, now if I save on the CPU and get a better GPU then the FPS drop becomes an immediate non issue. Is it not?
ahahahahhaha on one hand, no the fx 8350 is a good cpu, its the cpu which is bottle necking the gpu. on the other no no, to hell with the cpu, get a better gpu. flawed logic . bad.
hey amd fanboys, i got a joke for you :
AMD are piledriving into the market with the piledriver,
then they are going to steamroll the market with the steamroller.
and finally when they lose all hope, they are going to excavate what they started with.
In other news, i think OP may have a problem because bulldozer series is very unlikely to run on am3+ and asus is supporting it unofficially, because they made 2 more pins in the socket. maybe, but its confirmed only 990FX series boards will support bulldozer ( if at all )
get ready to (wait for it)
spend 20k on a motherboard aww thats more like 16k if you buy the asus crosshair 5, but what the s-h-i-t, AMD fanboys are rich they can surely afford such a mobo... l-o-l you also need a new PSU, because of increased power requirement... so where is that 620w psu lying around? oh and did i mention overclocking ? "the sweet little g-spot for amd fans" because of tdp requirement im really sorry guys, you wont be able to overclock your babies on a am3+
on the bright side the cheapest 990fx board is 10k, so cpu+motherboard = 21k ( OMFG )

YAH !~ SO much for AMD

some more firsts for AMD, and so much for Backward compatibility
ohh did i mention that the 990FX will not have a pcie-4 ? ? ? ? ?? ? so how do AMD fanboys plan to run Crysis 4? (which is now seeming as their beloved doll)
AMD is the best right guys? thats why they wont even confirm unlike intel which has made it clear that the next gen cpu will feature a new socket.
my god, or rather mother of god.
amd, man .... amd... vfm, all rounder, octa-core, best processor beats i7 , nothing comes close to it... put a crown on its head and award it the highest pc honour : fastest ghz clocked ( the higher the number, the more people you can troll )
am i the only one who uses google here for searching? or the govt of india is putting a ban on google .. so you cannot post the right information ???
hmm im starting to wonder, are tdf members more like chinas rulers? We will do this, only this, no im not doing anything else, even if i dont give people freedom and make them work like donkeys by paying them peanuts for the rest of their lives.. :O
