New computer, anyone can help??

[Kennet]

No not really coz i come from Europe. For that amount of money youll have a great PC with the specs you intered.

hey what do u think of this?

Buy the Gateway FX6840-23 Refurbished Desktop PC at TigerDirect.ca

ITs a fine mid-range PC, ive tried the 5750, it can play medium in BFBC2. Its an absolut fine PC for the price. The CPU i7 860 is a fast beast. By the way you can always upgrade the graficscard. Go for it.

But remember that card does NOT support 3D

just stuck ,, AMD Phenom II 955 Quad-Core or i7 860 .. which one is better.. graficscard not the problem.. i need it more for media and making music

 

[Kennet]

I would go for the i7, it supports hyper threading which means double up the performance per core. You have 4 cores = you'll get 8 cores. Its not that simple but it gives you an idea, that its actually twice the speed. I7 have 4 cores but it can handle operations like a 8 cored CPU. AMD has 4 cores too, but the 4 cores are only with the 4 cores = no hyper threading.

Intel vs. AMD
Intel is double the speed roughly speaking ;-)

That will do but if I was you, I would take a bigger powersupply coz 450Watts is NOT reliable running 6 cores and a relative big graficscard. How much for all of it?

 

[arda]

okay, i just changed it to "700 Watts - XtremeGear SLI/CrossFireX Ready Power Supply?? any good?".. and its 950$ almost 1.000$ canadian and anyting else u think i should change?.. thank you by the way

 

[Kennet]

Fine with the PSU of 700watts that will do. Nope dont change anything else. For 1000 is a fair amount. You welcome! ;-)
