AMD FX 8350 vs i5 3550

Read: 3570k not the 2500k. It's $15 off

Yes but the nearest MC to me is 2 hours away. Plus, you say that and still recommend the AMD chips. Good call.

On newegg, the motherboards and cpus cost the same (2500k and 8350), and the 2500k is better, by a significant margain in real world computing. Really a no-brainer.

Let's use ASUS as an example.
ASUS Sabertooth R2 AM3+: $190 <--- Notice it's the R2 version
ASUS Sabertooth Z77: $255
ASUS Sabertooth X79: $340

Please stop making false claims.

Hahaha you're funny.

Or we can selectively choose this motherboard that is $49 and supports both the 2500K and the 3750K or higher. As shown here the H61 chipset is consistently faster at the same budget than the AM3+. Or we can up the budget however you like but the equation will remain the same:

While the AMD AM3 system hasn't changed all that much, on the Intel side, you're getting a substantially more powerful computer today than earlier this year, and one with much better upgradeability to boot.

WOW, I selected something from Newegg.

SO all up, $265 for a a mobo and cpu that will destroy the 8350 in general computer and be faster in games. So please stop making misleading claims.
