Hey guys,

Not sure if this has already been asked but i had a look and was unsuccesful at finding a similar thread. if you look at my sig you will find i have a pentium 4 processor and over all an old and out dated computer. i am looking to upgrade to an AMD build and i have found my self at a rather difficult decision. where i am, i can see both AMD 1190t's and FX-6150 cpus for pretty much the same price. and i have no idea which one to go for. i know the 1190t is a decent cpu and from what i have seen out performs its FX counter part the 6150, although the 6150 has all unlocked cores so it could be possible to boost its performance much easier and match the 1190t or even beat it. in short i would really appreciate some positive feedback as to which cpu would be the best one to go for. or alternatively would it be a better idea to get a little bit more money and just go intel. like a 2500 or 2600?
 
2500K if you want to primarily game. I've only had experience with older AMD CPU's, but the smart money right now would be to go down the 1155 route (Just my opinion).
 
I agree with the above but if you want AMD I would avoid bulldozer as I think its overpriced rubbish atm. You could pick up a 1055t for much less and it'll probably be more worth while.

If it was me choosing between the two I'd go for the 1090T but if you can afford to spend a little more get a 2500K
 
Yep, there aren't many people on here that wouldn't recommend a 2500K tbh. Speaking from personal experience they are awesome.

The 2500k is such a great cpu and mid range 1155 boards are bountiful. Stay away from Bd like its the Black Death, not a fanboy of intel had a all amd machines in the past.
 
Depends what your doing duder, and if this windows patch for the SMT feature set actually works. Can't really go wrong with the 2500k though :L
 
Thanks heaps guys!

i just got a generous donation from my brother. he gave me his 1.5Gb gtx 580 after he just upgraded to sli 2 3gb cards. so i guess i cant go wrong with a 2500k surely that with the 580 beast will handle pretty much anything. but i guess to get that 2500 im going to have to wait a little longer and work a little bit more then. or does anyone think it would be worth getting a 2600k? i know its roughly $100 AUD more but thats less than a weeks pay. is it worth the extra cash?
 
1190T

do you mean 1090 or 1100 ???

either way, it is pointless getting a 1100, as there is hardly any difference between the two chips... i would get a 1090T

but compared to SB, SB wins

get a 2600K
