Hello guys,
In my rig is an old corei 2400. But i'm planing to upgrade. I would use my PC mainly for Photoediting, GAMING and to make music. The thing is my Budget is not very high. I want also to go into streaming. My idea is to buy an amd fx8350 and an adus m5a990fx pro or the sabertooth. Graphicscard is an inmo3d gtx770 16gig of ram ssd and 2tb hard drive. The question is should i stay at the intel or is the fx an good upgrade for the value?
Thanks a lot
Your current processor is not that bad for gaming. What's your rig's full specs?
Corei5 2400
Gigabyte z68 mainboard
Inno3d gtx 770
16 gig evo legera ram
Corsair cm600 power supply
Fractal design define r4
The main thing is photowork. Heavy photowork with great images and much filters. Gaming is my hobby an i will do streaming ;-)
for the tasks you are listing i believe the fx 8350 will be a good choice, multi threaded performance is better, plus the room to OC is a bonus. Want to go with AMD for my next build.
Thats the point. I'm cooling with a corsair h80i maybe i xan sqeez 4,8ghz out of the fx8350.?
Grab a i7 cpu for your existing motherboard - 2600k, 2700k, 3770 or 3770k (ivy chips may require a bios update). 4 cores, 8 threads you'll have enough grunt to do what ever editing you want and stream.
Way cheaper than getting a new combo. You should be able to pick up an i7 for $180 or so, then sell your i5 for to recoup a bit of cash - maybe around the $100 mark would be fair. Just my 2c. Feel free to ignore.
Peace.
That was my idea too? But i live in germany and the cpu is expensive here. And i don't wanna buy something from ebay. ;-) corei7 2700k costs about 280€ 3770k about 300€. In dollar 412 bucks for the 3770k ;-)
Fx8350 plus mainboard 260 euro ;-)
Ok this Thread can be closed. I've called my brother and he had build a new system and will me give his old Intel Corei7 2600K for free. I think that is the best deal that i can get :-D
Thanks for the answers. So i can invest my money to a nice monitor. Maybe a yakashima Spartan 301 ;-)

Delivery to Germany is reasonably cheap.
Score!!!! Awesome news mate. The 2600k is an awesome piece of gear, will oc hard as well.... ;-)
Sorry but this is even more expensive. But see my last Post! Pounds in Euro not a goog deal. When i buy in dollar thats a great deal because 1€ = 1,38 Dollars but 1Bp = 1,28€ ;-)
Nice, that is indeed a great CPU.
