Just built a new PC

[IronyTaken]

I don't have 12 fans, but I do have 2 extra ones.

It might be minimum performance gain between the cpu's you stated, but regardless its performance gain. And I do more than just gaming on my computer.

I don't like intel cpu's heh. And my motherboard isn't intel compatible so.

Damnit irony , the ram was good and it had a great deal going!! couldn't of said no hahaa

Well I am just giving advice.

You won't really see any fps gain from the 6 core compared to the 4 core Phenom II.

But with the i5 2500k you would smoke those AMD cpus and the price is about the same.

AMD is really bottom barrel CPUs until they come out with something else.
They aren't bad CPUs but for the amount you spent on the 6 core cpu you could of gotten something much better.

And whether you got a good deal on 8 gigs of RAM you probably will never use that more than 5 gigs with that set up.

The triple channel set up would have been better and cheaper.

And like I mentioned running 2 hard drives in RAID 0 would be best.


It's better to build a PC that has parts which compliment each other for the best bang of the buck and performance.

Yeah, im going with I.T with this. When i built my PC, i had a choice between the HEXACORE/I7/ and i5.

I went with the i5, best price, 4 cores, and really awesome performance.



At the time, a bunch of benchmarks put Intel in head of AMDs processors, i dunno if things have changed as of late.

8 gigs of ram is really over doing it, remember, even though you can afford it, you should take things into consideration.

Im sitting on 4 gigs of DDR3/2000 and I Rarely max that out in any game i play, will i really need 8 gigs?

The only things that should be gone all out for in PCS is the PSU, Case, and Mobo in my opinion Because these choices effect your future proofing.


OVerall, good PC.
