Now now, I need to understand this, GHz over Cores, I didn't choose AMD because of it's high cores and low GHz amount but what should I choose here babes?
Intel Core i5-4460 - 180 dollars and 3.2 GHz
Intel Core i3-4160 - 117 Dollars and 3.6 GHz
NOTE THAT i5 HAS QUAD CORE AND i3 HAS DUEL.
Also note that I'm upgrading my CURRENT Custom built PC. |

| Good choice not getting AMD. If you have some wiggle room in your budget definitely go for the i5. |

| @jhonny AMD has a worse inner design, so it runs slower, even on higher GHz or cores. Do the research. |

| 4690K is what I have, it works like a dream. Runs all of my games at max with little to no problem. |

@Who, yeah, but you'll be able to overclock, hence making the CPU last longer, and it's better than the 4460.
