« on: June 07, 2014, 10:40:26 AM »A quick survey for you guys:CPU: Honestly, people have a fan opposition against AMD or Intel. I prefer neither. I'd say to go with AMD if you're going for that bang for your buck situation, however if you want an extra couple of framerates or intend to use Visual Studios or any rendering software, I would go with Intel because of how the software takes advantage of that processor. However JayzTwoCents said in one of his YouTube videos that either don't have much difference.
Which do you prefer?
CPU -> Intel or AMD?
GPU -> Intel, AMD or NVidia?
HDD -> Western Digital or Seagate?
SSD -> Western Digital, Seagate or Kingston?
^Note: These are the only options available to me to upgrade my system. Don't chose a company I didn't put.
GPU: Intel only do integrated graphics. I wouldn't go towards intel graphics standalone in a system build as I would want to have enough power to pump four screens which I have. Again AMD have a better price to power ratio but NVidia has it's superior in rendering than AMD. (I would still go with an AMD GPU though because of how powerful they are for the price offered.)
HDD: I don't mind. I would go for WD because I have these in a RAID configuration on my workstation PC in my bedroom, and they're doing good enough for what I need them to.
SSD: People might slaughter me for this, but I would go with an Intel SSD. Kingston SSD if I had to choose out of them three.
AMD would save you a lot of money. I consider building an overclocked fx-8000 series cpu with a watercooled CPU and R9-290 for a good budget yet really powerful PC.
They do APU's.
Nvidia wtf Intel's not a GPU anyway
