instead of a amd... can u give me a intel solution?

desiibond · 29-05-2009, 08:57 AM

Processor: E8200: 8.5k or Q8200 for same price.
Mobo: MSI P45 Neo-f: 5.5k-6k

desiibond · 29-05-2009, 08:58 AM

But seriously speaking, E8200/Q8200 won't match the speed and power of X3 720. That's for sure. And if you want quad core, get X4 920.

napster007 · 29-05-2009, 09:10 AM

so ur sure i should go for the amd setup?? i mean i had been using intel all my life.... i'm open for the amd too, but fi i'm going for the amd i want to be sure if the x4 will be better than the quad?? and is it the same price? performance wise speaking is it better?

desiibond · 29-05-2009, 09:25 AM

X4 920 competes with Q9450 and Q9550. And if you do not overclock like hell, I would suggest you Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H for 5.1k else go for Jetway HA-07 Ultra (crossfire support)

And I am pretty sure about Phenom II. The only competitors to X4 940 are Intel Quad Extreme and i7.

napster007 · 29-05-2009, 03:08 PM

so the X4 will fit into my budget right?

desiibond · 29-05-2009, 03:12 PM

yes.

napster007 · 29-05-2009, 03:17 PM

thank you for the awesome support... i'll now make a final list with the X4......

ok 2 more questions,
1) how much is the X4 for
2) should i go for the GTS 240 or the 4770, which is a better choise and will they be able to handle games at 22"

comp@ddict · 29-05-2009, 03:46 PM

X3 720 B.E. 2.8GHz @ 7.8k(unlock to X4)
Biostar TA790GXB A3+ @ 6k
Samsung 2233Sw 21.5" FULL HD @ 10k
Palit GTX260 SONIC @ 11.5k
Corsair VX450W @ 3.9k

Rest upto you.

desiibond · 29-05-2009, 03:47 PM

X4 price starts at 10.5k I think
you might get it for lower price. Someone in the forum said that the price is 9.5k.

You can couple it with Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H if you want to do moderate overclocking and Jetway HA-07 Ultra for extreme oveclocking.

Either go for HD4770 or go for HD4870/GTX260.
with little bit of overclocking HD4770 almost reaches GTS250's performance and it still runs cooler

But if you are going to get a fullHD display, you better get GTX260.
