Deanjo wrote:Honestly, with a complete system rebuild like you are doing, you would be better off going intel. The AM3+ / FX 8350 is a dead end product and most AM3+ boards don't even have regular BIOS updates to fix issues with them. If you do go the AM3+ route, I would consider what you get being "as is".

Airmantharp wrote:Does the FX-8350 perform better than quad-core Intel CPUs for your particular encoding workload? If so, that would make using AMD worthwhile, because it won't be faster for games at stock, and will be noticeably slower once overclocked in CPU limited situations (multiplayer).
