I know i probably wont get many replies today, but this is sort of urgent, what is the better system?

or

System will be used as a work machine, but needs to be fairly swift and reliable, no extras are needed, just cpu, mb, ram, hdd, and psu

Thankyou and Merry Christmas

Out of those two, the Intel will be marginally faster. It just boils down to whether you will pay the price premium for it?

Is it worth the extra £50 for that speed increase you reckon? Thanks for your speedy reply! Also which would be more future proof?

Given the demands for budget, I wouldn't say so, if you're only doing simple computer things like word processing or internet browsing then it would be sufficient.

The AMD would be most future proof, due to Intel dropping that socket soon, AMD will be doing the same, but will be doing so at a later date.

That's quite alright

That's okay, enjoy your new system

Interesting, why would that be Dave?
