If your budget allows, this would be a good new option from AMD that is actually on par with some of Intel's newer offerings.
AMD FX-8320 8 Core Processor Socket AM3+ 3.5GHZ 16MB 125W Retail Box
I would recommend staying away from anything Bulldozer as the Phenom II x4 965 BE with an OC is capable of higher performance, for a fraction of the price. |
I believe FX 8350 is on par with the 3rd gen i5's. Even the 8320 is quite good for it's price.
