In my sig (current as of this post) are 3 machines. The Intel 6 core is all I really need, but I always have another system running while I am tweaking, gaming, or whatever.
Basically the 3rd system (i5-760) is getting very little use, so it has to go. Before it does, should I sell the AMD processor, motherboard and change it out for the older Intel processor and motherboard?
I will be keeping the 2 graphics cards, HD7850 in crossfire either way
Would I be better off with a i5-760 @ 4GHz or FX-8320 @ 4GHz?
The i5-760 has power of IPC over the FX-8320 and 2x 8 lane PCI-E slots for graphics, but lacks features like USB3 and SATA6
The FX-8320 has bad IPC but 8 cores over the i5-760, has USB3 and SATA6 plenty, but lacks PCI-E which is 1x 16 plus 1x 4 slots for graphics
