Is intel really that good?

I'd take the Xeon over the FX8350 because AMD stock coolers are abysmal.
And that 185 used to include shipping, doesn't anymore, but then you could just get the board there too, or wait until OCUK finally get them.

Think your budget board phobia is unwarranted, only board I've never lost was a higher end board (A GD65 P67)

But you're anti-Intel, so you'll go AMD anyway, not that it's a bad choice.

EDIT : We're talking a second on CS6 and in the low threaded part of CS6 (As your benchmarks show) the i7 > FX8350 by quite a margin.
With that Z68 board you could alter the turbo multi as uber has said, while still being quiet, unlike the FX8350, but on that note, you could get FX8320, decentish quiet cooler and clock slightly.

More like your addiction to cost cutting TBH,which means you might as well get a cheap Dell at that rate.

Will you stop yo-yo'ing with your opinion?
Addiction to cost cutting? Get real.

It's like two people use your account Cat, you can really frustrate the crap out of me.

If these parts were unusable, they simply wouldn't be created and able to support X and Y.
If I had an addiction to cost cutting I'd be using a cheap pathetic PSU (I use an XFX Seasonic) with some pathetic cooler (I use a full custom loop) with some crappy case (I use an XL-ATX Xigamatek Elysium) I'd be using a crappy board (I use a Maximus IV Extreme) I'd be using some crappy SSD like an OCZ Solid (I use an M4)

Your the one hurling out insults to people,phobia,etc and just because you don't agree with someone you try to attack them instead.

I agree with Humbug regarding the motherboards,even if I don't agree with him 100% about the CPUs.

If you want to cost cut then point them to a Dell then,or some other company which assembles cheap bucket of bolts builds from the cheapest parts which can slot together.
 
I didn't attack him :confused:
Haven't actually said anything, saying budget board phobia isn't an attack (I'm surprised you think it is, you must be quite timid :p)
 
I only meant he dislikes budget boards, Jesus Christ Cat, get over yourself.
Didn't mean it in an offensive way whatsoever.

EDIT : Coincidently, you've made yourself a hypocrite, I have an addiction apparently ;)

stop making stupid accusations about being Anti Intel just because you can't win the argument, why do you always resort to insults in such situations. :confused: its quite deplorable and speaks volumes about you.
Can't win try and bully your way there... you need to look at your self sometimes, get your head right!

Do you see me accusing you of being Intel pushy at all costs?

The Motherboard thing applies to both sides, i said i'm not sticking ANY high end components on rock bottom budget Motherboards.

The Photoshop benchmark you speak of is not (low threaded) its the OpenCL bench, if i'm doing anything OpenCL i will do it on the GPU and blow everything out of the water, thank you.
For normal none OpenCL the 3770K is beaten, thats it.

You did not answer my question, is it as fast as the 3770K or not

Why can't people take things light hearted, I wasn't even trying to push Intel on to you, even said about the FX8320 and the cooler and clocking.

And the budget board was also in relation to both Intel/AMD.

Seems people are out to be offended and create fuss as opposed to mild mannered banter.

Although, you're the one who put the Photoshop CS6 OpenCL benchmark in the single/low threaded section, I was just going by your categories.
I'm not out to win anything, as like I said, there's no bad/good choice, the xeon and the FX8350 are pretty even, I'd take the FX8320 and clock.

EDIT : Although you've made your opinions on Intel, you are anti-Intel, there's no way around it, it's not offensively, I'm anti cheese, doesn't mean I offend cheese lovers, I love spirits, while I know plenty of people who are anti-spirits, if I say they're anti-spirits, they don't think I'm trying to bully them.

And if you were to call me Intel pushy, well you'd just be lying, I've suggested the FX8320 more times than I care to remember, called it the best price/performance CPU at this very moment out of all CPU's.

You are anti-Intel, you've called your i5 2500k an overpriced piece of crap, you dislike Intel, that makes you being anti-Intel a statement of fact as opposed bullying you.

I don't like beer, if someone said I had a beer phobia, I wouldn't go flip my lid.
You've literally made a mountain out of a mole hill with one flippant word. There's such a thing as a proportionate response.

EDIT : No wonder England's PC flipping crazy, bet I'd get someone charged for calling me brown (I am brown, a crazy curry munching Indian one at that 'n all) while forgetting to mention I call my friends crazy white crackers over games of DOW.

I'm anti spending more money for the same or less performance.

If "xeon and the FX8350 are pretty even" then i will take the one that costs less, maybe even use the difference to invest in a small SSD Boot drive.

If i'm running high res multi GPU multi screen, or all i do is play World of Warcraft... I would invest that bit more in Intel.
In my situation (my situation being pretty common) its just not necessary, and i like SSD drives.
 
Its only a few quid to get a quiet cooler, i have half a dozen of them laying around doing nothing, there 3 for 2 bub and hapny... but that not part of this, i know.
