OK...I'm not an AMD fanboy by any means, but my last few PC's I've built up for friends have been AMD machines. Just hard to beat the price per performance for a budget rig. But this has been about 3 years, and I need to decide what to do again.
I am basically going to build my buddy my exact rig, and need to keep things under $800. He has NOTHING to borrow (no hard drives to steal, etc).
AMD FX 8320
8gb DDR3
Mid ranged 970 mobo
SSD Boot drive.
GTX 960 4gb.
Is it stupid to not go Intel? This is going to be a light gaming rig, and again needs to be under $800. Just seems hard to beat this build in that price range for what games he will be able to play with decent settings at 1080p.
I need to take a refresher course on Intel,
