Agreed 100% quiz. However he is wanting to argue things in a vacuum about strictly speaking price/perf in games. And he keeps linking the same 1 game in the same 1 wwcftech article as his claim that an AMD proc is 50% the cost for the same performance... and its frankly horsecrap. The point is also like you said, if you're going with SLI'd 980ti's, you can't throw an FX6300 behind it unless you like kneecapping yourself from the start.
ROFL dude
Starcraft, Skyrim and FC 3 are THE games youre going to base your future purchase. Maybe we should throw in Baldurs Gate 1 and Total Aninhilation in the mix rofl
No wonder youre FULL of it.
SLI 980ti, THATS your argument? Well, since you base it on 0,00000000000000000000001 %(dont really wan to spam more 0) of rigs out there then in MUST be true.
Unfortunately, because people like you others throw away money and you screw them up for performance ACROSS the board since they buy 500$ worth of CPU and 100$ worth of GPU.
Let's take away the labels and pick some round numbers for simplicity. Processor A costs $100 and processor B costs $200. Processor A offers 2/3 of the performance of processor B. Which is a better value in performance per dollar?
You might say, A offers 2/3 of the performance of B at 1/2 of the price, so A is the better value. The problem is that you don't buy a processor all by itself. If you have to spend $300 on other parts for the computer, then a system with CPU A offers 2/3 of the performance of one with B, but at 4/5 of the price. Measured that way, B offers better performance per dollar.
But neither of those are really the way people buy parts. It's more a case of, you've got a budget and you get the best you can fit into that budget. Today, it would be ridiculous to get an AMD CPU in a $1500 gaming rig, and it would also be ridiculous to get an Intel CPU in a $500 gaming rig. If you've got $500 for the entire computer, a $200 CPU just doesn't fit. And if you've got $1500, then I don't care if the AMD CPU is completely free; you don't want to unnecessarily give up a lot of CPU performance on that budget.
For vast majority of people THAT difference in MOST important because of people like certain poster they buy 500$ worth of CPU and 100$ worth of GPU and have crap performance ACROSS the board.
The cutoff point for CPU is R9390/GTX980. Unless youre not buying those (or above) you dont even have to worry about CPU. And even with those, any performance that might have been there will be obsolete with pretty much any new game.
And its not even as smple as "1500$ rig". If you go 4k (hell, even 1440p) its better to go much cheaper 83xx than i5.
Unfortunately sloppy and shallow "analysis" is whats plaguing the net (nothing new really).
Basing anything on "SLI 980ti on low setting in 800x600". Yeah. It REALLY matters lol
Also, matters that you can plug FX in 5 year old board, and change just CPU opposed to ever changing Intel platform which usually means buying WHOLE new package+windows.
I really wish there was an ignore user function on this forum, so that their posts literally just wouldn't show up on your screen. This guy is absolutely off his rocker.
Edit: Holy crap, there is an ignore button, and it does exactly what I hoped it would do. Best day ever!

Finally no more trolololo from you ( one can only hope)

As i said, hierarchy is:
i7
FX-83xx
FX-63xx
You may foam around your mouth all you want.
