Replace the FX processor with the AMD phenom ii X4
Okay so, I am making this new thread because basically I changed my plans. Also the other thread jumped from plan to plan so yeah, here's to clarify:
These are my builds which I will be choosing off, I have a few problems with choosing;
INTEL Build
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
AMD Build
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
My problems are the following
- AMD or INTEL build? AMD has eight core 3600Mhz, INTEL has quad core 3400Mhz. Why are they the same price? I find AMD suspicious..
- A good AMD Mobo, this one doesn't support my RAM. and on my site where I will order all the parts I cannot find the supported RAM by AMD mobos (I need DDR3-2000+ but they do not have DDR3-2100)
- Do you need to buy something to be able to put in CD's in your PC? What do you need to buy for that or is it already in the case?
- By the way, I do know that if I AM going for the AMD build I will need other coolers etc.
Please help me!

(Before someone says this, I summon @Alen to help us out. Thank God for giving is Alen!)
EDIT
I also want to start doing livestreams, do you recommend the 8 core then or just 16 Gigs of RAM or 8 gigs of RAM

Music historian here to please and displease,learning to teach all you peeps,so stop by the music part of the forum,and ask the question to your needs.
- Because some figure, who goes by the name 'M.O.M.' is paranoid of pirating/borrowing a backup of Windows. I know, weird eh?
-I like this card better, mostly because I can get a big price cut on it AND I actually know its capabilities. I am not going to combine 2 cards either.
-I purely buy this case for its looks. I love the colors, the size, the form, and especially the sides. It's like a mini disco and totally fits into my keyboard/mouse setup, as well as my monitor/floor
Dude, why do you give a shit about cores or processor speed?
Are you going to use all 8 cores?
With i5 2500k, it has unlocked multipliers, meaning you could easily overclock it to over 4Ghz with no problem.
That RAM speed is a waste of money.
If the most intensive task you do is play games or use Prime95 or something to see max load temperatures, go with 1600mhz or some shit.
Waste of money dude.
Drop the GTX 580 and that RAM and go for 1600.
You won't notice much difference with RAM speed especially with what you're doing.
Go for 7870, a lot cheaper and just a tiny bit less performance.
Just a tiny bit.

I don't know what website it's from, but I guarantee that it's much cheaper than the 580.
indeed it is.
i here by summon @Alen to tell you about the core shit.
