AMD FX8150 vs i7 3930k
im buying a new PC, and I'm not exactly tech-savvy. I get the basic understanding of it and processors are the ones I understand the least, but here's what I'm looking at.


the 3930k is a 6 x 3.2 GHz

the FX8150 is an 8 x 3.6 GHz

so isn't the FX8150 better in pretty much every way? It has more cores and each one is faster, so then why is the 3930k almost three times as expensive? Is there something I'm missing?

Also I know intel tend to be more expensive for the brand name, but I mean really, come on, why is it $400 more expensive?
