Intel CPU or AMD CPU ?

[Lady Alcina Dimitrescu]

I'm thinking about purchasing a new PC.

For GPU, I decided to purchase 4060 Ti (the best one I can buy with low budget)
(No, I can't upgrade it to 4070, I aint living in America or EU countries).
But I'm very confused about CPU.

Which one should I purchase, AMD or Intel ?

AMD is cheap, gives decent performance and has really good compability with most motherboards and sockets.

While Intel also very good, but changes sockets often and a bit expensive.


Like, what you guys think ?
I'm not an expert at building PC's soo..
Yeah...

Edit:

I'm not going to play at 4k, I'm only going to play at 2k at max
I do think about taking videos and streaming (on discord to my friends or something) but not on twitch or youtube.
I do think about making videos for youtube (like taking random moments I had in games, etc etc)

I need single core performance as well as multi core, but since there is like.. No CPU that does that, I think I'll go with multicore performance. Or with cores idk.

A 4070 Ti (27K) (GPU only)
A Pre built PC with 4060 Ti and some decent other parts (23k)

PC Part picker doesn't find deals in Turkey :(

I would recommend to check some Turkish YT channels and forums what is a good deal in your area.
In many places 4060Ti is a bad value but it might be the best option for the price in your area.
I would normally recommend to save money and get 6700XT 12GB or pay a bit more and get 7800XT, 4070 or 4070 super (not 4070Ti as it's not a good value)

Even a 3070 would be a better idea than a 4060 Ti if the price is right, because it's at least 10% faster. For both AMD and NVIDIA, everything below the 70 tier has been crap value compared to the previous generation.

easy choice intel hands down regardless what you see on internet and else where
intel is the fastest all around most stable/reliable cpu on the market

While I agree Intel is reliable and generally high quality, their scummy tactics and anti-consumer policy bothers me.

AMD CPU's generally has the same performance with Intel CPU's while offering very neat things as well.

Thats the reason I made the thread.

If I can, I will look for a 3070Ti or 3080, but people PROBABLY took all of them.
Thanks for the suggestions tho.

-Everyone took the 3070 or 3080 systems
-3070 SOMEHOW more expensive than 4060 Ti


WHAT THE ACTUAL ♥♥♥♥ IS THIS PRICING
I HATE THIS PLACE

Edit: Looks like my only option is 4060 Ti right now.
I would go and take 3060 Ti, but I'm pretty sure 4060 Ti have better performance compare to that.

Edit 2:

Soo, I selected a few parts andd..
Tell me how it is:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 3.4 GHZ 36MB AM4 65W
Motherboard: Biostar B550MH 4933Mhz OC S+V+GL DDR AM4
GPU: Inno3D RTX4060Ti Twin x2 16GB 128Bit GDDR6
RAM: TwinMOS 32GB(1x32, I may need to change that to 2x16) 3200MHHz DDR4 CL22

Biostar is garbage, 3200 CL22 is garbage, anything above CL16 is terrible for 3200 MHz

Biostar is garbage, 3200 CL22 is garbage

Okay what about this ?
It's a bit more expensive but.. Yeah, seems like I don't have any other choice.


CPU: Intel Core i5 14600KF 3.5 Ghz 5.3 GHz 24MB LGA17
Mother board: Asus PRIME B760M-K DDR5 1700P
RAM: GSkill Flare x5 32GB (2X16GB) 5600 Mhz CL36 DDR5 DUAL
GPU: Palit RTX4060Ti Jetstream 16GB 3x Fan 128Bit GDDR6

Edit: Yes, I especially choose high VRAM ones due to obvious reasons.

I was going to suggest 2 x 16 GB of RAM, rather than 1 x 32GB.
2 sticks means 2 feeds, into and out of, your RAM, sapreading the work load, which means it works faster over all.
1 stick of 32GB clearly only has 1 feed in and out, so over all it's slower than 2 x .

But I see you've already gone for 2 x

However, GSkill Flare X5 RAM is designed for AMD CPU's, so it's an odd choice to pair with an Intel CPU. Here's a review from Tech Powerup, https://www.techpowerup.com/review/g-skill-flare-x5-ddr5-6000-cl32-amd-2x-16-gb
I'm not saying you're making a bad choice, but wondering why that particular RAM.

[PopinFRESH]

If you haven't already purchased the GPU I'd suggest waiting another few weeks - a month. The RTX 40 "Super" series was just launched with the 4070 Super, 4070 Ti Super, and 4080 Super. The original 4080 and 4070 Ti are discontinued now, however, the original 4070 will remain and will be priced down.

You will likely see some deals on the 4070 (original) for closer pricing to the original 4060 Ti 16GB models in a few weeks.

As for the CPU, if you are on a tight budget I'd suggest looking at AM4 with a Ryzen 5000 series CPU. AMD just launched a 5700X3D which may be an option if it is available in your area. Otherwise the 5700X would still be a decent option

I'm assuming what you are listing are pre-built systems? or are you looking at those parts individually and plan to build it yourself?

That was just one of the rams I find on the site.
I do not have enough knowledge about it, I was searching for it and... I just typed that here as well.

Thanks for the suggestions.

In my country, prices generally goes high with time. Old systems worth more than new ones FOR SOME REASON. Especially new parts. Newest ones are even more expensive.

Like, I purchased a GT 730 for like 30$.
Which it worth nothing at all on other countries.

Also, I will not be able to purchase anything for now, but I will purchase this PC within a few months.

And, I'm looking for pre built systems, there is a site that you can choose any part of your pc freely.
It's very cheap and has wide variety of options.
