I need a desktop PC for my friend within 35-40K. I can't decide whether to go for AMD or Intel ? Please guys help me to choose best :)


AMD FX6100 Zambezi 3.3GHz 6MB Processor vs Intel® Core™ i3-3220 Processor (3M Cache, 3.30 GHz)?

Dude, I don't want full configuration. Just info on processor.
AMD vs Intel discussion is pointless if PC usage is unknown. Either post it there or mention separate budget for CPU and motherboard.

usage: Normal office work like word, excel. And for multimedia like watching movie and casual gaming. And I just need info on the processor?

Then Get the I3 3220. It has good single threaded performance.

Then Get the I3 3220. But the games are getting core hungry and therefore A10 5800K is a good Choice. @OP which gpu do you have and also tell us the budget for mobo and proc.

Here
i3 3220 (7000)
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard(4K)
WD blue 500 GB (2900)
Corsair Value select 1600 MHz 4 GB (1700) -
Corsair CX430v2 (2600)
NZXT Gamma (2500)
Dell st2240L 22" LED IPS monitor -8500.
total: 29200
For graphics card Sapphire HD 7770 will cost around 7K
