$250 i7 4790K at Microcenter, in store Pickup only: Lord Letto, on 24 December 2014 - 02:10 PM, said: I got a hell of a deal when I bought what I did. and was able to OC the living you know what out of it and didn't purchase a 965 B.E. over a I5, however, I had my trusty Phenom II 940 B.E. ![]() I agree with almost 100% of what you have said here, and I would of also felt regret if I would of puchased a Phenom II 965 B.E. The 8350, in most situations, has a hard time matching i5s in real world software let alone i7s (there are like, two exceptions, and if you run those a lot fine get an 8350, but neither are games) Intel doesn't play this game better Intel plays better, period. Even then, I truthfully still somewhat regret that I bought a 965BE instead of an i5-750. AMD only managed to hold their own with Phenom II because it was "good enough" (similar to Nehalem i5 performance, but without the awesome OCing) that they were able to price-cut and package deal their way to a compelling product. I still realize that the CPU battle was won conclusively. ![]() I have an obvious pro-AMD bias, and you'll still see it in the fact that I don't put up Nvidia GPUs in builds I recommend, the 970 excepted for now (AMD's chips from mid 2013 just don't compete with Nvidia's from late 2014). I would disagree, DV, with the idea that we're not biased to some degree, but we've all seen the data and it's conclusive.
