That's what I saidddd.
Better safe then sorry.

Because I'm stupid or tight (maybe both) I usually go for a higher rating just to be sure.. Like for my system I got an 875 rather then 775 for - 2600k, gtx 570 etc etc.

You don't need 8gb for gaming, I can game perfectly fine with 4gb, also if he's going the cheap way i3 or someother AMD would be find.

AMD > Intel if you're going for gaming.

...what?

AMD is better than Intel for games since Intel processors aren't at their full potential so that they last longer (underclocked) -- also, AMD is generally cheaper and more powerful. Look at the Phenom ii x6; a 6-core 3 ghz processor for under $150 USD.

But you can turn the clock speed up if you want to anyway? Mute point. Besides, that's not really a 'bad thing' per se about Intel's products, more of a trade-off that suits every day users who simply want a fast PC that will last them a few years.

Sandy Bridge i5 2500k can be OC'd to 4.5-5 GHz pretty comfortably depending on what air cooler you get, you can't get that much of a dramatic increase out of the AMD chips. Also, 6-cores =/= better for games; 4 faster cores would probably be better 99% of the time. They are cheaper, yes, and perform well for their price, but that doesn't mean they are 'better for gaming'.

What an idiot. It's as if he's never seen a single review or bench mark in his life.

G620 > x2 265
i3 2100 > X4 965BE
i5 2400 > X6 1100T

Cheaper CPUs that out perform the AMD in a similar price bracket. Way to swallow false advice chump.
