memnom Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Both 5850 AND 5830 at 15k? ATI must be high on something despicable. You contradict yourself mate, "games and most apps have yet to fully use 4 cores" != "1156 may get 6 cores". He mentioned that he would use the system for some time to come so instead of getting VFM why not get PFM? and be content with it for the foreseeable future?

How am i contradicting myself.i just said 1156 socket may be upgradeable if you really want 6 cores for showing benchmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnom Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 If u read my post and his, u would've come to the conclusion that the system is for Gamind, AV HD and stuff. So isn't it better to get a PFM system than a mediocre system now and then again upgrade to yet another mediocre system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pay some one to take it off your hands And why buy a gaming PC? You have both consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 You can pay some one to take it off your hands And why buy a gaming PC? You have both consoles. Like you see my machine is way too old. Need a laptop for personal use (office laptop has no admin access, so can't install any software) My original idea was to get a notebook/macbook. But then, since at same price of a notebook or half the price of a macbook I can get a pretty decent gaming PC, I thought of going for it. And err well....I can save on multiplat games by playing them on PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 bump - a small spanner in the works. The shop from where I was supposed to buy, couldn't come to terms regarding the price and he's stubborn to negotiate. So looks like I need another vendor. Anybody knows a reliable vendor ? I would need home delivery. Some guys have recommended 'Ankit Infotech' in SP Road. Please let me know if you know of anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~--YeSH--~ Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 to start off.... AMD's am3 chipset mobos are confirmed to support their 6 core cpu's... so i recommend going b tht way... and there is no point buying a 785g chipset mobo when u cn afford... a 790gx one... PII 955 is a gem.. easily clocks to 3.6 and higher... and 5770 is def pwns 4870... r get a 4890 instead... 'coz they'r going on huge sales these days.... u must've got these suggestions already.... couldn't go thru the whole thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piece George Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Dude, For a cabinet - Check out the CM Elite - Not too pricey about 2.5 - 3.5K i think... the 690 is a good buy too... The 5770 rocks... only reason i can think of going for the nvidia right now is the the physx effects in Batman AA (but cripples the fps - Sniff sniff) Buddy built a rig last month - got the i750; I think it was overkill but he really really wanted it Head over to S.P Road... I generally buy stuff from Ankit Infotech (but only after asking around for competitive pricing - Ankit will match or drop the price)...
