i5 4440 - 11k
gigabyte h81m s2ph - 4.2k
kingston hyperx fury 4gb - 2.8k/ corsair vengeance /vengeance pro /gskill ripjawsx
gpu - wait for r9 285
wd blue 1tb - 3.5k
antec vp550p - 3.5k/ seasonic ss500bt - 3.3k

I Think 8350.

depends. Intel single core performance>AMD single core performance.
AMD no of cores>Intel no of cores.
8350 wins if he wanted for rendering and editing and tasks which require multiple cores. Games require more single core performance and are also they havent yet started utilizing multiple cores. FX 8350 would beat i5 in gaming after 3-4 years when games start using multiple cores. :) ;)

He was correcting the "8530" written by adityak469 to "8350" :wink:
