Choosing a CPU
Which would be the right CPU AMD FX 9370 or AMD FX 8350 ? I was reading that the 9370 is basically a 8350 overclocked , also the 9370 is 220v where as the 8350 is 120v. I can get either one for the same price of 199.00. I have a 1000w psu. The GC i decided is a sapphire radeon r9290x tri-x which will also be 220v. What would you choose ? Intel not being a choice.
8 cores is overkill for gaming, do you intend to do a lot of video or intensive Photoshopping?
Not much point in 8 cores then, four is more than enough, though the six my be a happy medium, I use a 6200 running at 4.2 gigs and it runs everthing I throw at it without breaking a sweat.
