Thanks for the tip, I would have forgeted myself over. What's the big difference between amd and Intel besides the price tag?
Another note is i'm also using this computer for heavy editing so i'm not sure if that will account for anything?
a better cpu will account for editing speed, and there really isn't a big difference between amd and intel. when buying intel, you are also buying the name of the product, which is more than the actual product itself, and you are essentially investing into intel. with an industry that is growing every day, investing in one or the other really does not make much sense. they have different programs in which they run their processors off of, other than that, there is no difference. they're just processors.
if you ever want to get into streaming, be sure to pack at least 16 gigs of RAM into that system for optimal results. other than that, everything is set.
once again, if you want a comprehensive guide as to how to put things together, tell me in your reply or a message.
Don't listen to this guy
AMD cpus offer good price/performance, but an intel is going to offer better performance. AMD is good for budget builds, but if you're spending $2k, go with intel.
Just know that the only difference between i5 and i7 is hyper threading, which isn't going to add anything for game performance
My only issue i see is that monitor is expensive as forget
boy how is an intel quad going to offer better performance than an eight core
a side note, dont listen to intel fanboys who really believe that their stuff is superior
