AMD build

[paeeon]

Hi!

I am just wondering is it worth building a AMD base computer as it's more budget? Is there any build that is within 1.2k?
kindly advise me Thank you!

Imo the only time it would make sense is if you are on a super tight budget and need a system that benefits greatly from 8 cores.

In that case, Intel would perform better at the same price as most games run on lesser cores.

Buy all parts from PC Themes and DIY.

If not sure of how to DIY, ask PC Themes to build at a nominal fee.

This rig should let you play most games on high settings.
8GB rams will suffice for gaming as most games do not use more than 8GB unless there is memory leak.

1.2 is quite some cash.

Currently AMD apu is value for money but thats for low end pc.

Since u have 1.2 perhaps you can consider intel i3 + AMD gpu.

Or alternatively, A FX CPU for that matter if you perfer the red camp but on some single threaded application the AMD cpu wont be as good.

Really no point getting amd now. Unless u wanna go for 7850k without any gpu to get even more savings.
