I want buy a new CPU and MB and DDR 3 Ram....Intel i3 proccesors are not compatible with DDR3 1600 MHZ ...i7 is beyond my budget...so planing to buy new AMD A series Processors ( A 8 3800) and Asus Mb and corsair Dominator 1600...Can anyone tell me about new A series AMD cpu's performence??which one is better? I3 or A8 3800? i have xfx 9400 GT Graphics card. is it sufficient or should i change this card? i am not a hardcore gamer. i have corsair 500 smps and coolermaster 431 plus cabinet...
 
Intel CPUs don't support ddr3 1600 natively but you can choose the XML profile in the bios and they work perfectly fine with every ddr3 speed up to 2133 and above. I myself run 16gb 1866 with my core i7

Even a core i3 can compete with a mid range amd CPU for gaming, assuming eternal graphics. Get a i5 2500k or used i5 750 if on a tight budget

Even a first gen i5 750 competes with high end amd chips
 
i need a usb3 asus Mb for Intel i3....can i use 1600 mhz ram with I3 CPU?? which SMPS is better?corsair or cooler master or antec???
