Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

LGA 1156 processors already take the responsibilities of the northbridge chipset. To be honest I'm kind of against doing this with CPUs. Let the motherboard be the motherboard and the processor be...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

Nothing wrong with Fermi so long as you stay away from the 480. My 460 is amazing, never goes above 55 degrees.

I realize that brand loyalty is pretty silly but the only worth while cards that...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

"They both" implies that they're separate. Now it's just AMD.



Six cores isn't going to help you here lmfao.

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

ATI = AMD

As far as I know there are no games that use six cores, and you certainly aren't going to be doing any serious multitasking or anything....

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I don't know much about GPUs outside the gaming aspect, but wouldn't you be more in need of a workstation card than a few 480s?

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I would never advocate getting a laptop for gaming. I can understand the allure of a portable gaming machine, but you're paying a lot more for a lot less.

I don't know much about the mobile...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

While the 5970 is at the top at the moment, you're paying a pretty big premium for not that much of a performance boost. AMD cards seem to have a few problems with things like AA and AF (While the...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I'm not too fond of HDDs over 500GB just because it's always faster to have a lower capacity. Less seek time, and less fragmentation. I've never had any problems with HDD failure so I can't really...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

Urgurgrug EXACTLY.

The 5970 is an over hyped and overpriced piece of junk, there's no reason to spend so much money on it. 12GB of RAM is worthless because you're never going to need it unless...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

The only difference between the 920 and the 950 is that the 950 is at 3.06ghz stock. Save money and buy a 920 and overclock it to 4.0ghz. I'd also suggest getting faster RAM but less capacity, I'd...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

Well, that's what you get for a 200-300 dollar premium over the 480. Personally I've always had problems with AA and such with AMD's cards, I'm sticking with nVidia.

In my opinion dual GPU cards...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

My first computer was a VIC 20 :twisted:
I miss it, I think I'll gut it and put it in a milk crate. I still have it somewhere around here.

This. Never use an optical mouse for gaming, ugh.



There's absolutely nothing wrong with Vista, you don't know what you're talking about.

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I'm not familiar with AMD processors really, but the only thing as far as I know that's much better than the Intel i7 950 is the 965.

SLI (Scan Link Interface) Is basically connecting two graphics...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

That Cyberpower PC will probably be one of the best pre-made computers you could buy at the time, it'll last you quite a while. It also comes with a free upg to W7 so *Thumbs up

Hope it works out...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I was going to buy a Centurion 5, but then my friend recommended the Cooler Master HAF 932 to me and I bought that instead, to this day I have no idea how everything fits in that case.

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I would also probably suggest buying something weaker and gradually upgrading it, you could probably save nearly $1000, at nearly no cost performance-wise, since nothing really requires something as...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

It'd ensure that you'd last longer gaming wise, and in case something happens with cooling it would help because it would half the stress on each video card, but that's just some of my paranoia I get...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

Yeah that's a really nice comptar you have there, it'll last you quite a while.

EDIT: It's pretty much what I'm going to be getting, except with an i7 940 instead of 950 probably, and with a...

Re: Getting a new computer. Need advice.

I recommend for a processor, the Intel i7 940 Quad Core, or a 965 if you're willing to pay for it, for a video card I like the GeForce GTX 280, motherboards I don't have a readied opinion on them so...
