My previous 2 PC's were Intel based I had no problems with that. Both were there for 5 years each. Trying new brand(for me) like AMD is not an issue. But, just have a doubt if AMD will get overheated.

Thanks sumit05!

If I get the Athlon X3 II X3 - 435 @ 3.9k is ok. And, if I get a 18'5 or 19' will it be enough for gaming ..

Will I require an extra fan for AMD, as I heard it get overheated?? Is that true!
 
the overheated thing is very old... something that happened with the early anthlon ... but a good ventilated case is a plus for any machine intel or amd
