i heard intel is better than amd. correct if i am wrong


iv used both intel and amd cpu's and i honestly never noticed a difference. i used an i7 and it seemed no faster then my amd 620 in normal window's tasks (maybe the i7 shaved a second or two off loading but is that worth the extra $200?). in games sure the i7 is faster but can you notice a difference if you don't have a fps display?

it depends what your using the computer for. if your gaming amd is the route to go because they sell good chips for cheaper then intel. if your doing CAD or something very cpu intensive get an intel like the i7.

You can't compare, cause AMD is a lot cheaper, find a CHEAP intel CPU that preforms better then AMD ;)

Image doesn't make sense to me, but then again, sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with the massive number of memes that seem to be around the internet.

Just incase he REALLY doesn't know, and incase he was ACTUALLY clueless, and not bragging somewhere really realyl deep inside.

Your computer is awesome for the price, everyone trolled you.

Just don't want you to end up returning it ;)

??

21" monitor - 150-200$ at most

as for his computer...200-400 depending on some things.

You didn't get 'ripped off'. You bought a pre-made computer which are always more expensive. The extended warranty you bought is a much better price than what they charge over here (canada) but is still unneeded.

You could save much more money or get a better set up if you built it yourself.

meh realistically..

He probably got a case worth more than 30$.
PSU 50-100.
HDD 50-100.
dvd drive 25$
monitor 150-200
CPU 80$
Ram 100$? cba to look up price on that

idk what im forgetting, probably on board gfx
win 7 is like what 80$? idk

Those are realistic prices. If you got one for 250$ then you got amazing deals on some parts...or cheaped out on the lesser parts (psu, hdd, case)

When you build a budget PC, which he definitely has, you don't need a 800watt power supply.

I got case + 350 watt power supply for roughly $45; CPU and motherboard for $110ish and if I remember it's also an E5400.

DDR2 ram is like $25 for 2gb.

You said 'better pc' >.>

ddr2 value ram and low end MoBo
probably worse cooling w/ case

then again defining 'better' may change things around.

as for power supplies..well views on PSU's are very different for some, but I generally look for good brand name ones as I have had my share of cheap PSU mishaps.

"better" has a dedicated graphic card

shit outdated processor in a shit case or shit outdated processor? Doesn't make a difference when you're talking E5400 with onboard graphics.
