so whos running the FX-9590 AMD CPU?

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I need to build a system for my son and the 8350 or 8320 seem like a good choice. Not massively cheaper than a Haswell i5 though but for some reason I am not as interested in building yet another intel system.

The FX8320 has been priced as low as £105 before.

I wouldn't mind giving one a run for its money not fussed wether people like underdogs or whatnot just quite like the idea of thrashing one over the towers

It's worth checking out the new 83x0 overclocking thread. People are getting 8350s to 5GHz, let alone the 9590s

That's good to know might have a "wee small hours browse" while waiting impatiently for bank balance to refresh

Definitely worth considering, I am amazed that there's a few discreet lurkers out there that have not displayed their rig specs in signatures. I'm hoping it's not to evade being snubbed by the intel brigade!!
