Help me Choose

[Rescue Fox 27]

Heyo everyone! So next month I'm going to get a new computer (Finally) and I'm on a slight budget ($800) I'm not gonna build it myself because I know I'm gonna fuck up (probably break a pin on my cpu while putting it in or something retarded like that) So I'm going to have it built. I'm just torn on what I should get, I have found two options and I need to know which one I should get. Also If you find a better computer for the same price please tell me! Thanks for your input!

LOL look at the url, 666

I don't know a lot about hardware but that left one seems like a better value.

[Kratos 326]

The left one.

[Rescue Fox 27]

Yea, I was gonna go with the left one if no one answered e.e

[Dolph1n 130]

Yea, I would go with the left one and I could build your PC for free n_n <3

Never trust a dolphin.... or a whale

[siikdude 240]

I would go with the right one imo

[siikdude 240]

That amd cpu is pretty bad

[Rescue Fox 27]

That amd cpu is pretty bad

Reasons to consider the

Intel Core i5 4590

 

 

Newer manufacturing process 22 nms vs 32 nms A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor

 

Significantly better PassMark (Single core) score 2,141 vs 1,437 Around 50% better PassMark (Single core) score

 

Better PassMark score 7,299 vs 4,585 Around 60% better PassMark score

Reasons to consider the

AMD Athlon X4 760K

  

 

Significantly more l2 cache 4 MB vs 1 MB 4x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later 

 

Higher clock speed 3.8 GHz vs 3.3 GHz More than 15% higher clock speed

 

Much more l2 cache per core 1 MB/core vs 0.25 MB/core 4x more l2 cache per core

 

Better performance per dollar 6.89 pt/$ vs 6.08 pt/$ Around 15% better performance per dollar

 

Eh, they both have something they're better at

What siikdUde said the AMD cpu is quite bad. They are not bad at speed etc but they are bad at heatings.

 

A good AMD CPU needs alot of cooling!

 

 

1. They use more energie

2. They need litteraly alot of cooling

 

 

I would go for the right side because:

 

1. Since Intel got a special system in their cpu's is that they use less and less energie

2. They can get very high speeds without being that much hot so that means you don't need a very good cooler to cool your CPU.

 

 

And for the rest the specs are exact the same except the videocard, well the videocard is almost the same as the 760

[siikdude 240]

AMD has cores that are significantly weaker. Doesnt matter if the AMD one has higher clock speeds because that cpu still wont be as powerful as Intel's i5. And the 750ti is a tad weaker but dude the right side, its alot better. You could always upgrade ur gpu u know. Also you have lga 1150 mobo so you could always upgrade later to a better haswell cpu.

We understand each other ^^

 

 

*pssst* like my comment D: *psst*

[siikdude 240]

An i3 is better than that AMD cpu and i3's arent even recommended for gaming :dumb:

So how big of a difference would the 2 be performance wise, also I see that the i5 processor is a tad cheaper than the GTX 760, so can I get the left computer and upgrade my processor at a later date?

dislike cause you asked

And no you can't upgrade to a intel CPU if you go to the left side.

 

Because you have then a AMD socket not a Intel socket.

[Sentrex 785]

he means get the intel cpu one and upgrade it later

Ah okay

[Rescue Fox 27]

No, he got it right :p

[Sentrex 785]

oh oops my bad

[Sheep_Wizard 183]

Get a ssd for your os about 10 second boot time

 

I got this one, not very big size but very cheap

[Rescue Fox 27]

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE (Just gonna build myself one, cheaper)

Okay so I just picked some random shit, tell me how it looks

REKT

[Sentrex 785]

Good choice, really not hard to build a pc

[Twix 76]

dislike cause you asked

f*ck I was going to like but I misclicked.

 

And yay for building PCs but I'm personally no help there sorry.

[Sentrex 785]
