Building A New Computer

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072


Is this a good setup? It's a VERY costly investment, and I want to make sure I get it right. I also have a 600 watt power supply and an EVGA 460 SE, which I plan to use in the new computer alongside the rest of this stuff.

Ahh yes, building your own computer, I just had mine built. I'll post a picture when I have the time.

The i5 2500k is just as good as the i7 2600k for gaming purposes, it even beats it sometimes. 100 USD more for a 7 instead of a 5 is hardly worth it. Stick with what you have. Case is an amazingly good one that'll last you for a long while. Only drawback I see is sandy bridge boards don't and probably won't ever offer tri-channel memory, but it's really not that big of a deal. Just something you'll have to deal with further down the road.

Im just going to tell you to get AMD.
You will save alot of money, and you get the same shit.

You have absolutely no need for ddr3 1866. You can knock $60 off the price right there.

Get a better cooler for that CPU and clock it to 4.8GHz or so.

Comparing anything AMD has to a sandy bridge is just silly. Your statement may have been somewhat debatable a good bit back, but it's not anymore.

Unless your looking for some crazy benchmarks then it really wont matter, Whibbles just a casual gamer and a good AMD processor will serve him just fine. Not to mention I think Intel is a terrible company for my own reasons that I will not discuss with you

what im trying to say is if you want to save some money and still get great performance go with AMD

Check this before you consider anything AMD, lol.

The i7 or i5 will give you more for your money. As forementioned, AMD used to be that way, but not so much anymore.

AMD is way back on manufacturing technologies and shit.

 

[Whibble]

AMD is all fine and well, but I hate the ATI video cards, which work very well with AMD.


I'll stick to Intel. However, Fatal managed to convince me to get the full tower, rather than the mid tower, and I took one of the pairs of RAM chips off. I now have 2 4 GB RAM chips.

No, no, no.

I5 is just about the same, and a few hundred dollars less.

you're poor enough as it is you don't even have a cell phone!

I swear, when I left to go buy my GPU I saw some guy that looked like whibble buying parts for a computer.... Nice stuff 15 processor, nice tower, nice ram, motherboard etc.... But got a 20 dollar gpu and I was like ._.

the first thing you said that was wrong was that you left to go buy a GPU (what the fuck???) and then you said "15 processor" wat
