AMD FM1 631 vs Intel Pentium G840, similair price, but which one is better??

AMD is Quad-Core while Intel is dual.

Low budget system for a friend, going to pair it up with 6850, He`s going to use it for everything... Just cant decide what CPU would be better in general.

What's the overall budget? Might be able to spec a good low budget system with a better CPU. I'm assuming you already have the 6850?

Yeah, got around 300 max to spend, no OS, GPU, Monitor, keyboards, mouses ect needed.

Interesting config, cheers for your time

However doesnt 6850 need 500W power supply? Also the 2100 is non-OC? So 631 overckocled to around 3.5ghz pull up a good fight? Since I heard they OC like hell...
