Which CPU is more powerful and better for gaming?
Six Cores AMD Phenom II Hexa-Core X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3GHz / 3.7Ghz Turbo Socket AM3 9MB Cache
or
Latest "2nd Generation" Intel Core i7 2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4Ghz/3.8Ghz turbo core x 4 Quad Core LGA 1155 8MB Cache?
People have been telling me that the intel i5 2500 is a better option than both CPUs, as it is better for over clocking, however I am new to pc, and don't know how to over clock.
Your advice will be MUCH appreciated.
