usaweapon777 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I built my first rig with amd. Definately a little easier to the newbie with unlocked multipliers(only intel chips with multipliers then were VERY expensive) and easier to attach coolers lol. On a serious note almost all rigs I build for friends or family run amd. The price cannot be beaten and short of me, one friend, and this forum I know no one who needs so much power that an amd rig could not handle. However after getting used to building pc's and what not having one that blows the socks off of everything else and boots windows in under a minute is very nice and being able to overclock the living daylights out of sandy bridge is even better. Amd and Intel are both good just one is more focused on the budget guy. Edited January 24, 2011 by usaweapon777 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmineral Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 For everyone that says they need more power and go with intel for it. What exactly are you doing that needs more power? I personally haven't heard of or come across anything that any of my processors couldn't handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme21 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 i5 even at its lower price point then the i7 still out performs anything AMD offers including the X6 for roughly the same price. i5-2500k 224.99 and the X6 is what 222.99? I'm not trying ot hate on AMD but for about the same price i'd take a i5 2500k system anyday over any X6 . for $100 more I can have an i7. AMD Video Cards on the otherhand iz the buisness!
