AMD A8 A8 5600K? Piledriver FX 8320? or Bulldozer FX 8150

You gave no information and AMD is cheap because it is junkware. Get an i3-#### at least.

gaming? get i5-3330

Don't get those faildozers for gaming

if you can find phenoms get those

They both kinda suck. The X3XX FX series is much better than the X1XX series and the F2 platform is likewise so much better. It also depends on your needs. The A8 is an apu, meaning it has integrated graphics. If your getting a separate GPU, go wit the FX series.

Edit: a 6300 would be as good as a i3 3220. Its about 5% less in single thread performance, but in multithread apps the 6300 wins. Though the fx series has been reported to "stutter" during game. Frame rate will suddenly dip for half a second for no reason.

Edit2: Do you live near a Microcenter (in the US)? They have a deal where you can pair any am3+ mobo and FX CPU and get $40 off.
However, this deal also extends to the i3-3225 and i5-3570k and any 1155 mobo. $40off. I got my i5 there.

Oh boy now the CPU battles start all over again... Oh wait this isn't new Facepalm

I'm running nothing but a all AMD based system and enjoy it with no problems.

I'm using "Potato II 1.00", feeling good

thanks for some information about those cpu's now that i have an idea maybe ill try to keep in mind and or for a look out on i-cores series rather than to amd's but still i for a minimum budget

but since im in a tight budget ill go for AMD.... but which one will i should choose Piledriver or Bulldozer for an average gamer like me?

and what MoBo that they suit better?
sorry that im a bit late on whats new about technology im just too busy this time of year..

Since you are only comparing those two.
AMD FX8120 black.
For other cpus (AMD/Intel) look at other comments.

Intel

Why is the Intel too pricy? The 3570k costs the same as the 8320/8150 and at the very least, the i3-3220 exists so you can always get that.

Intel is 2nd and 3rd Gen Technology - redesigned motherboard and cpu to work together - direct access to memory + graphics (60-80% performance gain over 1st gen). AMD is still in first generation - the problem with that is it doesn't matter how many cpu cores or speed the processor has, it will still bottleneck and no way to improve it's performance until to catch up with the things around it. While it's great for applications and multitasking, it majorly sucks for gaming performance and a game won't use the CPU Cores to the fullest. Intel i5 CPU - Sandy or Ivy Bridge is well worth the investment with compatible motherboard and high quality graphics card. Currently nVidia is the leader in graphics as well. Results: Lag free gaming on high resolution and ultra textures in gaming - low or no bottlenecking across the system. Don't get i3 for gaming... that I would class as applications only as is the AMD CPUs.

thank you guys for so much good and awesome info's about INTEL and AMD and im glad that ived posted this thread..
ill list i5 for my budget. and fx 8320.. thanks a lot my awesome forum friends.. im going to close this thread now thanks again :)
