why do you fight this? Take for example the AMD FX-8320 vs the i5-3470...the AMD is better at the price point. Does take more power, but if you need the most bang for the buck right now the FX-8320 is the way to go.
You know this...stop trolling lol
Why are you comparing similar price items when Intel's lower tier products usually wipe the floor with AMD anything in price/performance
I'm not even going to get into power consumption comparisons and how ridiculous AMD's offerings are since it'll go over most peoples domes.
yeah, but just looking at price vs performance won't tell you the whole story when you need some minimum level of performance. I don't want people to run out and cop a gt 640 to game with just because they saw it's the most bang for your buck
edit: I'll point out that a 575w psu for $25 is a lot of "bang for your buck"... that might literally lead to a "bang"
U got alotta nerve prick. Theres a god damn celeron on that list.

The G530 and G540 are pretty respectable...
I'm going to upgrade the PSU.
I recommend Corsair PSU. They have a 7 year warranty and their RMA is by far the easiest.
Power Supplies
Professional Series Gold / AX Series PSUs have a 7 year warranty
Professional Series / HX Series PSUs have a 7 year warranty
Enthusiast Series / TX Series PSUs have a 5 year warranty
Gaming Series / GS Series PSUs have a 3 year warranty
Builder Series / CX Series PSUs have a 3 year warranty
HX Series (Models HX520W, HX620, and HX1000) have a 5 year warranty
Enthusiast Series (Models VX450, and VX550) have a 5 year warranty
VS Series PSUs have a 3 year warranty
I will look at this PSU also. The one posted earlier looks nice too. I want a high quality PSU without spending to much on an PSU. A PSU in the 520 to 600 watt range is enough power for my needs.
I have always been a AMD fanboy. Yes I know Intel has the overall better cpu's. But the new Piledriver cores are better then the bulldozer cores and the new AMD Vishera cpu's does very well. The 6 core cpu I posted will do me very well and is price competitive.
I know the Intel Boys would come. It's all about choice. Weather you are AMD or Intel these cpu's are faster then anybody needs anyway at least for non gamers.
That 25 PSU may be a little iffey but I guess its better to spend a little more for a more known company.
I also have another dilemma The New amd's run better on Win 8 then Win 7 do to better OS optimization for the extra cores. But I'm not really sold on Win 8 for desktop use? I heard there is about a 10% performance boost on Win 8 with these cpu's.
Strongly urge you to ignore it op, they would have you spending way more than necessary
Get enough wattage and a pci compatible that can get enough juice for the 24v rail
They will have you thinking you need this that and the 4th, these same folks leave they pc on all day torrenting etc they clearly need the safety measures
I'm just trying to save money
Get a bronze cert psu for like 50 bucks
Anything more is a waste

Looks like you're paying a little too much. You need to make sure your card is legit too. Everything can be manipulated around here and there. Having a Blu Ray writer is legit too.
is she gonna be elite gaming?
