[QUOTE="ALPHA17, post: 1655863, member: 33927"] The AMD Phenom II family of processors has been [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_(product)"]EoL[/URL]-ed by AMD in favour of the purportedly superior [I][B]FX[/B][/I]-**** processors for the past ~1 year. As for the performance gap, check here for a [URL="http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=102"]benchmark run[/URL] between the Intel Core i5 2500[B][I]k[/I][/B] and an AMD Phenom IIx4 965. This is the gap with a Generation II Core i5 processor, the Generation III Core i5 3550 I have recommended increases the lead by another ~5 --> 10%. Maybe the AMD set-up is cheaper on the whole but, it does not ameliorate the fact that if you are getting a brand new system Intel is the way to go. AMD's overall performance is to anaemic to recommend it for a brand new "[I][B]performance[/B][/I]" oriented RIG. AMD HD 7850 cannot quite match the HD 6850 CrossFire but again the power consumption of the latter will be enough to put the veracity of the setup in a conundrum. Here is the performance of the cards [URL="http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU12/372?i=588.549.539.585.586.584.515.516.508.587.555.550.598.517.548.509.518.510.511.540.547.512.519.543.542.520.536.538.513.535.541.537"]head-to-head[/URL]. Also note with the newer [URL="http://www.anandtech.com/show/4455/amds-graphics-core-next-preview-amd-architects-for-compute"][B]G[/B]raphics [B]C[/B]ore [B]N[/B]ext architecture[/URL] the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPGPU"]GPGPU[/URL] performance of the HD 7*** series cards is ahead of the HD 6*** and previous generation cards by AMD. In India the SMPS I have listed will not be available, the SSD listed will not be available. Rest of the components are priced higher on the whole.
