This is better because currently similar price bracketed intel processors do approximately 1.5x as many instructions per clock as amd's processors in most applications, and the "8 core" crap you hear is really just funky hyperthreading.
This means a 3.0gHz bulldozer is equivalent to ~4.5gHz sandy bridge for games, and for heavily threaded work, 2500k<=8150fx<<2600k. Hence there really is no reason to recommend a bulldozer, especially considering they aren't even competitively priced if you include the difference in motherboard costs. Also, bulldozers take a shitton more power than sandy/ivy bridge. |

2500k is unlocked and overclockable. The other one is not unlocked and would save you some money with the motherboard and CPU.
8gb of ram should be all you need. 16gb is what you'd call overkill |

| iKill thanks a lot for your help. What does unlocked mean. how does it help? Do you know what I would need to overclock the 2500k? Should I get a fan for the CPU, if so which one do you recommend? |

Unlocked multiplier means overclockable. You need a P67/P77 chipset motherboard to overclock the 2500k/3570k, you also need an aftermarket heatsink, which i would recommend a Coolermaster Hyper 212+. You can find all of this in the build posted by iTzSnypah, well done by him. |

| yea the AMD 8 core is nice but an i7 will provide a much better experience and really worth the extra money |

| Bulldozer is worse than intel celeron for gaming and that is NOT a joke. Seriously though you could max out those two games with any recent CPU |

If you don't even know what overclocking is, and all you want to do is play SC2 and D3, I would just get a locked CPU. You'll save like ~$120 or more. And by the time you actually get around to overclocking it (and learning how to do it properly), there will be better stuff out. Overclocking is nice and all; but really, even with Sandy Bridge, it takes quite a bit of effort and patience. Unless you don't care about being efficient. |
