[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments
PurpleMetro:
so i'm deciding to upgrade like everything in my pc this xmas
i need more fps on space engineers, any ideas on what to get or to upgrade first?
carolcat:
AMD has poorer per-core performance. intel almost always outperforms AMD in single-core performance.

Or do I have to do some special stuff in my bios or whatever.
Also how much space does my SSD need than? Will 16 gigs or so be enough? Cheapest one is like 32 gigs, will be enough I guess

yeah, you should be able to just format the SSD, copy the data over, and have it set as your boot drive. get at least 120 gigs, just in case you want to install some other frequently-used applications on it (i.e. browser, steam (just set your games library to be on an HDD))

GTA V alone already uses 60Gb lol. But I rarely play that. Might get something with more capacity if im going to install games on it. forget cant read.

You should probably get a better gpu. If you want to go cheap get the GTX750. But I recomment getting a GTX 9XX
Maybe a better cpu tho if you're upgrading anyways

I also selected another, cheaper, motherboard and with the money I saved I spend it on a better cpu.
Comparing both I got this.
The intel one:
+ Allot Less wattage
+ Onboard graphics
+ Better single core peformance
+ Build in GPU
+ More cache
Amd one:
+ Overal peformance
+ More cores
+ More Ghz/core
+ more I2 cache (whatever that means)
+ more I3 cache (whatever that means)
+ unlocked (oveclocking whoo!)
+ Better peformance/dollar
they both have their advantages. Seems like AMD is better for video editing, rendering, etc... while Intel wins at gaming.
While I do both this is p much a struggle, but I mainly game so i'm going with the intel one. Looking at PC specs from streamers i noticed all of them had intel CPU's

Just so you know, CPU architecture plays a huge role in its performance. In fact I'd say it's a bigger factor than anything that can be measured with numbers. AMD always wins in pure numbers and always loses in architecture, that's why they end up performing worse than Intel processors that have lower numbers in most cases
