First Pc Build (Fx-9590 8 Core vs Intel I5?)

Skittlz · Aug 8, 2014

Hello im getting ready for a PC build. My PC would be used for gaming and high quality rendering. my price range is 600-750$ (Australian) and the 1 Part i cant compare is the Cpu. AMD FX-9590 8 Core Black Edition or an Intel I5. My graphics Card will be a Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X OC 3GB. Help me out if you have time and if you could can you list the rest of the parts compatible with this - Skittlz

That 9590 is just an oc'ed 8350 so its not nearly as good as an i5 + the i5 draws way less power.

If you can afford it the i7 would suit your needs better than the i5 for rendering.

For gaming, the Core I5, which offers higher gaming performance at lower power consumption and much lower temperature. Check the following comparison:

DON'T TAKE THE FX!!!! My friend has one and he uses water-cooling system. His temperatures are around 80C. That's incredibling high for watercooling system. With the stock fan, my friend told me, the PC switched off for security reasons after 6 minutes. He checked the log files and saw temperatures of ~120C. And the best of all!?!, it has less fps than an core 2 quad. Take the i5 or an i7
