i mean at a 400 dollar budget that would pretty much afford you the greatest.

thats with a non overclockable i5.
you could pick up 4690k + mobo + ram for 400.

What happened to the "windows XP is the best windows ever made and I will never upgrade" argument?

Wondering where all the XP retards are nowadays, or did they convert silently to avoid the shame. Disgusting.

Not saying you're one of them, but I'm not saying you're not either.

Xp is the best man, don't need to upgrade to garbage windows 10.

If you don't need to upgrade GPU as well, get an i5. If you need a GPU, get an FX-8320.

I didn't want to replace that just yet.




So it looks like Intel over AMD.

And better CPU over better MB
