50/50 amd or intel

[virus]

Hi Peeps

I was just wondering what to use for gaming performance for any gaming performance
I have been looking at the Asus Rampage Black Edition, but I am not sure, i have been told AMD system are very good.

also i would like to know what is the most up to date chips.

Haswell or Envy what is the latest ?

x79 or z87 same what is the latest.

A Series or AMD FX Series also which is the latest?.

Just get an intel and be done with it. Proven 100's of times that they are better than the amd. People will argue about cost blah blah. Who cares, the intel processors always come out on top.

envy or haswell ( i can afford Extreme)

 

[DevilsKnight]

Get and ivy bridge chip, the haswell chips don't offer a big enough performance increase that is worth worrying about. I've currently got a i7 3770K 3.5GHz ivy bridge processor, a gtx 670 graphics card and run every game on max settings and get 50-60 fps as a minimum.

Nice thanks for the advise

 

[DevilsKnight]

No problem, what else are you planning on for your build? Need any other advice?

is the x79 or z87+ motherboards the most up-to-date Mobos ? for intel

im comfused with the 1155 and the 2011 mobos

 

[DevilsKnight]

It all depends on what processor your going to go with.

1155 motherboards are for (z77) ivy bridge, 1150 motherboards are for the (z87) haswell chipset, 2011 motherboards are for the (x79) sandy bridge chips.

2011 are more up to date boards than the 1155 & 1150 ?

 

[DevilsKnight]

Nope they're the old ones mate (Sandy Bridge) 1150 are the newest ones (Haswell Processor Boards), 1155 are the last gen ones (Ivy bridge Boards)

so i would id be better with 1150 sandy bridge for future releases like the haswell-E chip ?

Just my two pennies on this.

AMD was good up until the release of Bulldozer series 1 which is labelled as the Phenom II, which will more than likely be the chip your using for the Asus Rampage Black Edition. I know this, as I run the Asus FX Black Edition with an ATI 6850 which by all means is a brilliant system and works for what I want it to and I don't OC it because the performance is spot on.

Gaming wise, you have to think about what you will be playing to what is best.

AMD in my opinion has always been the best for gaming, as there integration with ATI cards is far better than Intel and Nvidia but that's just personal choice. However I would suggest getting on the Overclockers Forum for better advice, as there are mixed opinions between the two chipsets for gaming.

is that a good setup

That is a very nice setup 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.

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)

For gaming, there's not much point in going nuts with the CPU. Spend as much as you can on your graphics card.

 

[LionMir]

not much point in a i7 for gaming i would personally go for i5 3570k or the haswell i5
also you should do some research, different rams run faster with different motherboards/cpus plus with ram you want to check the timings not the mhz speed

Are you really going to noticed the difference between CL11 and CL10? I didn't to confuse him even more by going into this. Why do you say no point in an i7 for gaming? I'm guessing your basing this on the fact that no software really uses it to its full potential?
