50/50 amd or intel

[virus]

only problem with i7 is the hyper threading on games, due to games these days well certain few only use hyper thread, reason if i was to get the i7 would be for future gaming. when games use hyper threads, i have also be looking into a new 3d monitor for the 3d games

That is a very nice set-up mate, just out interest why 4x4gig of ram? Why not 2 8 sticks? You could probably get some higher speed stuff (2400 or 2666hz) for the same price.
Other than that, it all looks good. Just out of interest, where are you getting it from?



I know this is all your opinion but bench marking wise, intel and nvidia have always come out on top. This is not taking price in to consideration.


Dk

reason why i want the 4x due to split ddr ram channels, I have been told from a mate of mine, if i was to use full 2x 8 gig it would but pressure on the ram, you wont get full ram speeds, unless u had the full set like 32 gig as 4x sets, in long run would cost alot more.

tbh i would like to know what is the best Z87 Boards, as that's all really needed especially for the price, i have been told the Gigbyte-OC z87 board are good and better than asus brand for performance, but i am in 2 minds really

Virus, have you done your research regarding the I7 4770K Processor? they wont use any old DDR3 Ram, well saying that its the whole Haswel gen (I have I7 4770K)

what ship would u recommend, do i have to have an extreme chip in and extreme board?

Personally speaking my rig is as follows - Case: Xigmatek Alfar Case - Black
- Power Supply: Corsair GS 600w PSU
- CPU: AMD A10-5800K 3.80GHz Overclocked to 4.40GHz Quad Core APU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4 (Socket FM2) DDR3 Motherboard
- Cooler: Corsair H60 CPU Cooler
- RAM: Patriot Viper 3 "Red Venom" 8GB DDR3 PC3-15000C11 1866MHz boosted to 2133MHz Dual Channel
- Primary Hard Drive: Samsung 256GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s (Capacity: 256GB, Sequential Read: 540MB/s, Sequential Write: 520MB/s)
- Secondary Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache HDD (Upgrade Options Available)
- Graphics Card: Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express (overclockable)
- Sound: Onboard 7.1 Audio
- Optical Drive: OcUK 24x DVD+/-RW SATA Drive
- Wireless: Asus USB-N10 Micro USB Network Adapter Wireless-N 150Mbps
Probably could have done better with a CPU but there it is Iv managed to run every game I own/bought on full with 60+fps

I wouldn't go with an APU if you're getting a dedicated GPU.

Saying that, the A10 APU alone runs BF4... which is amazing in itself.
