xpgeek Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 little help please, i can't decide between these two systems, which is better, faster, better, processor wise? CybertronPC Forge Barebones - 3rd Generation Intel i3-3220 3.30GHz, 8GB DDR3, No HDD, No ODD, No OS http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7753383&sku=C122-7006 $35449 OR CybertronPC Forge Barebones - AMD Quad-Core FX 4100 3.60GHz, 8GB DDR3, No HDD, No ODD, NO OS http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7753381&CatId=2846 $32299 I'm leaning towards the i3, but I'm just not sure. Going to throw this card in it too; MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GD5 Video Graphics Card - 2GB GDDR5, PCIe 3.0, HMDI, Dual-Link DVI-I, 3 x DisplayPorts, DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.4 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9596386&sku=RSC-102842350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'll throw in a vote for the AMD, but I'm biased, it's your cash, so it's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 What are you going to be doing? Gaming? Productivity? This post may help you; http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1630184/intel-3220-amd-4100.html Personally, I'd get the i3 but either way you *should* be fine.

Boo Berry Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah, the i3-3220 is the better of the two with the only two reasons, in my mind, to choose the FX-4100 is the cheaper cost and if you're looking to overclock.
