Sadly, I am afraid that AMD CPUs currently aren’t very viable, especially for gaming, due to them not having a performance release for a while and their single threaded performance being so disappointing.

It is quite a sad state of affairs but I will always be recommending the parts which are best for the money and that is currently Intel chips across a wide variety of budgets.

There are still AMD CPUs being recommended but this is usually very very low budgets where APUs are the choice as a discrete GPU cannot be afforded, or the AMD athlon series where you cannot afford to purchase an i3.

Thanks for your feedback! Hope you like the site.
