So, let's say you have a few hundred quid for a gaming rig upgrade. Would you base your upgraded system around an AMD 890FX chipset with a Phenom X6 1055T? Or would you go with a P55 board and a Core i5 760?
I ask because several years back I had an AMD Athlon XP2500 which at the time was one of the best on the market due to overclocking potential vs. price. AMD pretty much dominated the performance PC market. Then a couple of years ago I switched to Intel as they had a better hold on the dual core market. However, now it seems that AMD are again making some pretty powerful CPU's in quad and even 6 cores, but most reviews on these chips say that the same, or similar priced, Intel dual/quad counterparts are more powerful for gaming.
I dunno, I guess there's not a lot between them, but "bang for buck", for say £300 for both motherboard and CPU, what would you choose? AMD or Intel?
(P.S. no fanboi's please)
