Hi guys
looks like my old quad core system is on the way out. it has been flaky as hell lately and now i cant even get into windows without a crash and i only installed win7 again recently.
so, time for an upgrade. the thing is i am woefully out of touch these days.
are intel still king? i have a 2500k OCUK system for my workstation but at home i rarely play games so i dont want anything too expensive. probably £300 to spend on a CPU, RAM, MOBO combo
so, i5 2500k OC bundle or an AMD system.
to be honest it will mainly get used for the mrs to do a bit of work from home and for me to play the odd game BF3, colonial marines etc.
are the amd chips any good these days? i seem to remember the last time i looked that the AMD chips were a bit of a let down and still not comparable to intel.
thanks guys.
