I defer to your expertise. But why go with a cheap AMD?
AMD is no longer the "cheap" chip, and hasn't been for several years. Using benchmarks, AMD has given Intel a run for the money. It seems, lately, the speed lead has been switching back and forth, with every new generation of chip.

The cheap AMD chips are cheap indeed, but there's nothing wrong with them, and the high-end AMD chips are as thunder sez.
You are undoubtedly correct. But, when you were telling us about the
computer you were building, didn't you say you were using an Intell chip?
Yup. But unless you are a high-end gamer or use certain processor-optimized apps (of which there are almost none), you're not going to notice any speed difference between a high-end Intel and a high-end AMD CPU. The only computer game I have installed on this desktop is MS Golf.
Well! That explains both.
Better greens fees with MS Golf. I shoot in the low 60's.
Per hour, per day, per 18, or what?

Now I know how you got that 79 the first time you played a round! If, as
many seem to think, golf is so boring in the real world, wouldn't it be
totally boring in the virtual world?

Per 18, silly!

It's less boring on the pc, because it helps me with small motor movements and hand-eye coordination. really.

Yeah, but you don't get to walk 6500 yards. Actually I walk a lot further
because I *never* take the shortest route from the t-box to the green. I
like to practice 'M's and W's' while chasing my ball.


I won't dispute the benefits of walking a golf course.
