Also, are you absolutely sure you want to go with a Piledriver?
The single thread performance is utter shite.

I like it's look and a friend has it aswell, also you got AMD Bulldozer in name so you are even more reliable. lol

Got images disabled, sorry.
Also I am getting an AMD because I already have i5.
Never had AMD so I decided to get one and compare.

This is off topic but why do you have images disabled? :V

I am on a limited connection, got like 200 mbs left, so I gotta minimize the usage
@Edit:
How come nobody else has anything to say :D ?

You could just look at internet benchmarks to compare and not buy a bulldozer.

Again, I don't care.
I won't suggestions about PC case, not the CPU.
Forget it, I'll ask on forums where people aren't intel fanboys that'd rather offtopic than actually help a man in need.
@Edit:
I already said in I think my 2nd post that I ALREADY have i5, I bought AMD for comparsion only.
So stop talking about CPUs and suggest me some cases ffs.
It has nothing to do with being fanboys, but okay.

not being fanboys, just proving a point
There was a point where AMD directly competed with Intel and that day is not today.

I've had nearly every AMD chip since the Duron, I'm hardly a fanboy, Bulldozer and Piledriver simply suck.
That's all there is to it.
I suggest the Corsair 500r. Its 130 bucks. I have it and its awesome. [url]http://www.corsair.com/en/pc-cases/carbide-series-pc-case/carbide-series-500r-white-mid-tower-case.html[/url]

But why waste your money buying an AMD cpu when you can just look at benchmarks and not waste your money.

Because its better to have the actual thing to test. You can always resell it

"yeah lets waste my money rather than just using benchmarks off the internet which are free and objective"
I am planning on recording a video about comparsion and then I'll give computer to my grandpa for his birthday (that is, if it'll be worse than mine)
[QUOTE=Netheous;41608747](that is, if it'll be worse than mine)[/QUOTE]
It will be.
[QUOTE=AMD Bulldozer;41612586]It will be.[/QUOTE]
You are assuming that without even asking me what I am using my CPU for.
the thing is though, it will be worse [I]no matter what you use it for[/I]

Tell us then
I am using it for video rendering mostly.

You know it doesn't even match up in multi-thread performance, right?
Can we get back on the topic ? PC Case, I am thinking of Fractal Design R3, but I dunno if it'll have enought space for my cooler.

I'm just gonna say that we will back off if you really want us to, but this will be our final warning to you; you are going to waste your money if you buy that CPU. Think long and hard about this, read up on reviews and benchmarks, and come back in a week. If you still really want this CPU we will help you find a case.
The R3 should have enough room for an ATX board and 7 expansion card slots so yeah it should be good for you. Though what cooler are you looking at? If it is a 240mm radiator then yes you could fit it though I think that it would be a tight fit, as I do not know the space between the top of the case and the motherboard
no no no don't talk about coolers he just wants advice on a case
I have an i7-3770 and an AMD-8350. When it comes to daily tasks, my AMD was a beast. I find that the i7 has trouble with browsers a lot of the time. When it comes to gaming performance I find no difference.
