Also, it seems the deal with the i5 3470 isn't actually that cheap. It shows that if you buy the i5-3470 with the asus mobo, the mobo is free, but when I go to newegg to see the combo it says the mobo costs around $400.
Now that I know the prices, relatively, I'd like to say my budget would be no bigger than $320. I'd like to get the i5 3470, now that I know about it. But I'm curious, the i5 3470 is 3.2Ghz, while the FX is 4.0Ghz, yet I'm told the i5 is better. If the FX is faster, and has more cores, how is the i5 better? (I'm not interested in overclocking or SLI/Crossfire)
