@mlk17 you have two routes to take apu or haswell, what
@Liquid is offering with a haswell, build is getting a baseline cpu i'm thinking their duel core line cpu's that are pretty strong for duel cores later you can upgrade to a i5 which is stronger then anything amd makes even their 8 core cpu's but it may cost you around 200, on the other hand you can go with the cheaper amd apu build and call it a day, I built a apu rig for
@Based Cheiftan years ago when apu where new and it came out pretty well and was cheap. What a apu is, basically a chip that is a cpu and also a gpu on one die, they normally offer mid range performance at a good price, gaming these days depend more on a gpu then cpu horse power so if all you are doing is gaming then a apu build is fine for 1080p gaming.
Now this is where it gets good if you go with intel you get horse power which can equal to doing task much faster then a apu ever could such as video editing, multi tasking ect, apu's also require more ram then a regular cpu. Tbh you can game just fine of 4gb ram on a intel chip don't think about doing that on a apu as you will need a min of 8gb of ram for any type of decent gaming.
@Ciggavelli if
@Liquid is doing a guide for a cheap intel build def go for it as in the future you could also upgrade it to a much better all around pc.
