I would never buy a computer from ebay, if your going to build a computer pick out the parts you want then sign up on newegg for their newsletters and buy each part as it comes on sale you can get a 1000$ computer for around 700-750.

 

Most prebuilt computers are worth 50-100 less then you pay for them. If you want to play any seriously good/new game you need to drop around whats above to have good fps.

 

All the data I've saw pretty much shows that AMD is perfectly fine to use for the price:

lol seriously the 8350 beats the i7 3770k in a lot of things especially in streaming and its a $100 cheaper lol and even in some games it beats it by a far.

 

You have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you're talking about.

Did you not read what I said? I said it beats it in a lot of things like streaming and such and in some games lol that picture doesn't show that does it?... Take a look at this video and tell me if the $100 is really worth it lol - 

The only time I would get the intel is if your botting 24/7 like the other guy said cause of power consumption but other than that I would way rather choose the intel and get a better gpu or ram. An that's another thing if you chose the 8350 you could use the $100 that may have been used on the 3770k for a better ram for botting so overall the 8350 wins.

The only bad thing about it is the noisy stock cooler it's rediculously loud and the power if you're gonna be botting 24/7 for a year that extra 100$ you save on getting a 8350 instead on a intel CPU you will have paid for in power costs even more.

Ya but who really uses the stock cooler for botting lol like if you're botting 24/7 then you need a aftermarket cooler. And the power consumption is a good point but you could just get more ram with the $100 you save from the 3770k and run more bots giving you more money so in the long run that would get you more money then the 3770k. 

nuff

How would the 8350 beat the 3770k in streaming with less processing power?

 

The 8350 is only capable of ~90Gflops

 

The 3770k is capable of ~120 Gflops.

 

So no, the 8350 is not better at streaming (are you talking about watching 1080p movies??).  The only thing it would potentially be better at is rendering using all 8 cores, and even that is a huge stretch. Intel has very strong single core performance.

 

The cost associated with CPU's is how much power you can cram into one chip.  That's why servers use multiple cheap CPU's.  Hell, I'd run two fx9590's if I could.  But I'm perfectly happy with my 6 core 4930k

 

Also that video is hugely flawed.  The GPU was bottlenecked the entire time.  They should have used either a 7970 or 780

Obviously its not gonna beat it in every single game streaming but from what he showed it definitely isn't worth getting the 3770k or the 3820 when you only get .44 fps on the 3820 lol. And if you think its bottle necked then go watch some other videos and tell me if its still worth it. I don't care but if you think paying $100 for not noticable difference then go ahead, might as well just buy yourself a $10000 computer. But i'd rather just get the 8350 then use the other $100 on a better gfx card or ram.

You only get ".44 fps" because the GPU limited the CPU. When I had my 2600k I easily got >100 fps with 1x 7970.

Prove me wrong

Now to help the OP, are you gaming only? And what is the resolution you are going to use? 1080 or 1440p makes a difference when choosing a graphics card. Also if you are on a budget AMD is still good enough for most games. I'd say most of the games these days lean more towards graphics card to get their performance then CPU's. If you don't mind a few FPS I wouldn't bother with an i7 an intel i5 does the trick too. i7's are only usefull when doing a lot of CPU heavy tasks like rendering videos or something along those lines. You can get a decent gaming PC for around 600-700 bucks for gaming on a single full HD monitor. But as I said already you need to be more specific on your wishes.
