amd or intel for gaming cpu if not overclocking?

- Start date
Cheers for the reply, martini. It's not for me btw - it's for a friend's son. He won't be overclocking or doing anything fancy. He's been trying to play skyrim with onboard gfx until now and doesn't know this pc is coming - it would be nice to blow his mind with something uber. Any money saved on the cpu/mobo will be put towards getting the best gfx card possible.
Cheers for that.
At stock i would personally go for intel just because amd dont start hitting the butter zone untill you over clock them.
Somthing like this
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4440 3.10GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £143.99
Total : £153.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).
Just because the fx83** has more corse does not make it faster clock per clock intel is far better.
Cheers for that.
