Alright. So i've been looking at this pc here:

But I have no idea how the AMD processors stack up against intels core i7. I've been trying to find a benchmark that might tell me how well they perform compaired to eachother but i've been unable to find one.

Since the pc has upgrade possibilities I just need to know about the power of the processor as I already read that the graphics card is pretty damn good. (correct me if im wrong)

I've been out of the upgrading/buying pc market for a good 2-3 years so I have a few problems with all the things that are important these days compaired to when I used to buy pcs .. not to mention what is more powerful.

I've usually built my pcs from scratch but this time around I don't think I can be arsed. Getting a great preconfiguration that just works would be nice. Can always upgrade later.

Does this help Mr Staudeman sir?

Its a pretty fast processor and its generally somewhere between Core 2/i7 depending on the application.

Not sure if this benchmark actually means anything, I'm not really a PC guy, but I came across it the other day when looking up processors.

Constructing a PC is like playing with legos. However you get no bonus points for experimenting and fitting pieces where they don't fit. In fact you get major negative points.

A few sites to check out for comparisons.

www.hardocp.com does pretty good, honest, comparisons.
www.tomshardware.com usually has a CPU chart

I give this thread a 9.5.

yep I'm using the same chart for comparisons.

Good list of all CPUs.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the aid.

INTEL CORE i7 are way better

Icore 7 are better but priced much much higher too. If you have no budget constraints go there.

Core i7s are better, but you're looking at like 150-200$ more, and fewer upgrade options in the future as well, in all likelihood.
