Computer Upgrade suggestions

Don't use AMD processors, stick with Intel

Why?

Why?

AMD is built for gaming and graphics. It's fine if you are a graphic artist, videographer or serious gamer. But they suck for general work.Not great at multitasking

What line of work do you think sign making is?
Seriously, the CPU's available today will all work fine and brand is probably the least of the concerns. I doubt you put two identical computers together and the only difference was the processor that anyone could tell which is what unless you had software telling you what was inside.

Depends on what graphics are demanded and how much complexity there is to them.

As far as Intel and AMD, they are pretty well on parity.

Fair enough, but I have a different opinion having run several AMD based systems through the years. My experience has been they are every bit as capable as Intel products at a better price point.
My latest rig runs a top tier AMD Black Series CPU. It was built locally by an independent shop that specializes in AMD. They took the time to interview on what my specific needs were. Then they asked what software I was running so they could optimize the system. It's a flat out bone crusher.

Yeah nothing wrong with AMD, it's just built for graphic based programs and videos and it does a hell of a job. But for an office environment, it sucks.
