Well, I have been scarce lately around here, namely due to kidney cancer...recovery...Ironman training....and now...I have taken on and completed my first two triathlons, a 70.3 (half distance Ironman) and then the full deal 140.6 Ironman Texas in April and May 2014 respectively...but I digress.
But now, it's time to get back to some gaming, I am going to reward myself with a new "mid range" pc.
The only choices I am not sure on is which cpu to roll with. AMD FX-8350 or the I5-3570k.
Both will be water cooled and overclocked. It sure looks like spending the extra 100 bucks to go Intel will be the right choice (especially if I take that 3.4ghz up to 3.8ghz or more).
Opinions? 16gb ram and a GTX780 are the other important bits. Oh yeah, and I will be gaming at 1080p res on my new 27" display.
