Hi, I'm doing a new build for an office and need a little advice.
I'm 17 and my last build was a perfect success for my dad's work. He runs most files off his server and some programs, so he hasn't used more than 80 gigs on a work PC. I put a 128GB ssd in the first build and he loves it, so he asked me to do another custom build.
I've cut down the options to:
i3 3225 with stock fan and ASRock H77 Pro4-M
vs
A10 5800k with Cooler Master GeminII S524 and ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M
In order to achieve the same single threaded performance as the i3, I'd overclock the A10 a safe amount. I'd probably end up around 4.3-4.5 ghz, but I don't know, it would be my first AMD build.
My dad loved baldur's gate and *might* download the new enhanced edition.
The rest of the components are listed here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XTzN
Which way should I go?
