please answer my question quickly

1) 8.2k .... (For just 600bucks more u get E8400 which beats E8200 in every aspect and i always suggest this since the diff is not so huge)
2) 8.2k
5) 2.5k

Also get a Transcend 2GB DDR2 800MHz of RAM for 1.7k.....

Just get the E8400..... Just my 2 cents...

desiibond · 06-11-2008, 04:23 PM

First and foremost, stay away from cheap RAM modules. Get Kingston atleast.

MSI P45 Neo-F fares better than ASUS P5Q. If you want a crossfire enabled board, get P5Q Pro for 8k.

By looking at the performance of HD4850 X2 and HD4870 X2, I think the need for Crossfire will fade out.

Tenida · 06-11-2008, 05:02 PM

My current config is DC E2140,Intel 945 GCNL mob,1 gb of ram.

Will 8600 gt 256 ddr3 perform better in C2D E8400,Asus p5q,2gb ram than DC E2140,Intel 945 GCNL mob,1 gb of ram.???

furious_gamer · 06-11-2008, 05:05 PM

^^ Yes, of course it will perform better with C2D's than DC's....

BTW as desiibond suggested, go for MSI P45 Neo F for 5.9k and its also a P45 chipset like ASUS P5Q..Thats will save u some 2k...
And comparing to MSI and ASUS mobos i mentioned, there is no big difference or feature.... So why waste money on that,,Get a MSI P45 Neo F.....

Tenida · 06-11-2008, 05:14 PM

I would say this one rocks more.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
MSI P45 Neo F
2 Gb@800 mhz corsair o Ram
CoolerMaster Elite 330 Black Cabinet
Seagate 250 GB
Palit HD4850.

And this config costs the same as you mentioned but you get lot lot lot lot better graphics performance.

forget about Crossfire. The future is X2

Tenida · 06-11-2008, 07:26 PM

Not now but for the future use for crossfire.

desiibond · 06-11-2008, 07:27 PM

sell your 8600GT dude. That would cripple your gaming experience.

Tenida · 06-11-2008, 07:27 PM

I Like The Brand Asus.

hOW MUCH 9600 GT 512 DDR3 COSTS??XFX VERSION
