according to the video seems like radeon cards run better by around 5 to 10 percent than nvidia. the gtx 660 was bit slower than the radeon 7870.
also if more cores = better play online, then shouldnt i just go for the 8 core amd CPU's? i thought cores are meant for more tasks not for more people online? wouldnt more people online mean i would need a better gpu and not more cpu cores? im a bit confused.
thanks for the response. so i guess the more expensive ram is better if its 20 percent faster.
you mentioned the motherboard you put in does not have an old chipset, so im guessing a newer mobo and newer chipset are better? but how are they better? just more reliable as far as not breaking? or quicker? im just wondering if id really notice a difference?
the fx 8320 would've been the cpu i would've put in honestly but it wouldn't be doable with your budget since you need windows and a monitor.
it's more a compatibility thing more then anything.
more core doesn't mean always more performance. last year amd released their first 8 core cpu's and were uber terrible to the point dual core i3 cpu's with 4 threads were more performant.
the fx 8320 and the fx 8350 are great cpu's tho
the fx 8350 is a fx 8320 but at a higher clock speed but the price difference isn't worth it.
