Hello everyone, I am been wanting to build my own computer for a very long time. I know my way a round computers, but the one thing that I cannot get a fair and balanced answer on is Intel still better to pick then AMD? For amd I am talking about there Ryzen cpus. I never really worked with ryze before in my life. All of the computers that I had worked on had been Intel. I know that AMD has been crushing it when it comes to benchmarks and they are close or right on intels tail. The only pro that I have found on intel is its still has the strongest single core performance. I am not a fan boy of intel, just been USING them for a long time, but I am not afraid of picking AMD, I just want to make a smart purchase.

AMD is a very solid company.
A large number of people think AMD is the best choice for HIGH performance at a decent  price.
There used to be, once upon a time, other companies that made popular CPU chips.
