Hi,

I am thinking of buying a Pc and have two choices:

Option 1-AMD A8-6600K 3.90GHz (4.20GHz Turbo) Quad Core with Radeon HD 8570D Integrated Graphics

Option 2- AMD Athlon II X4 750K 3.40 GHz Quad Core with AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB Graphics Card

Both have 8GB Ram So which would be the better PC?
Thanks
 
I'd say something along these lines

Ask OcUK to put the latest bios on the board so you will be able to clock the cpu to 4.2ishghz and get some extra performance from the rig
 
Thanks guys, I'm gonna go with the Graphics card CinderzFTw said along with the amd a8 6600k processor.Thanks for the help.
 
I wouldn't be doing that, the A8 6600k is an APU which is meant mainly for the integrated GPU potential, not the CPU performance. The Pentium K will most likely beat it for CPU performance, so I'd go with Cinderz build as it'll give you all around better performance with the 750Ti and the CPU combination
 
finally a build i specced and no one moaning about it lol

yes the pentium is a K series, so clock it... beats the apu all day long... even keeps up and sometimes beats my 6350
