    I haven't seen many pc enthousiasts on here. For those who own a pc, post your specs in here and feel free to post a picture of your build.

    Here are my current specs:

    CPU: AMD FX 8350
    GPU: Asus R9 290 DirectCu II OC
    Cooler: Hyper Evo 212
    PSU: Antec HCG-620M
    Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (Rev. 4)
    Ram: 8 GB
    Case: Antec Three Hundred Two

    Kind of regret having went the AMD route when i built this pc last winter. I will definitely be going with Intel on my next build.

    I used to be a computer genius 10 years ago, not so much anymore. AMD all the way though... about 10 months ago I got my current system

    AMD 6 core
    NVIDIA Geforce gtx 750
    Kingston 4gb memory, shoulda gone 8gb. have had 0 problems running anything so far though
    MSI motherboard legit no idea if I got a good mobo or not...
    steady state HD

    why dont you like AMD?

    Because they are outdated and a lot less powerfull than Intel. AMD is doing pretty good in the GPU world, but with the CPUs they are so far out of the competition.

    Basically the FX series is the best they have to offer and even the best FX doesn't have the Intel's i5 performances. For high end gaming they have absolutely nothing to offer. The only reason one should go with AMD is if they want a budget cpu and aren't really interested in gaming.

    Over a certain price range their is no advantage of going with AMD. I made a mistake by paying 200$ for my FX 8350 when for 50$ more i could have had a far superior Intel cpu. I thought an 8 core must be great. The thing is, Intel's 4 cores just slaps AMD's weak cores.
