new pc, enough good?

by Trev • 3 Jan 2011, 12:30 • Journals
Well after 4 years I'm ready to buy a new pc because my old
is just not running anything. I havent got so much money so
it shouldnt cost much but have to be a good one. Tricky, isnt it?

I want to buy part-2-part and will build it home when everything
arrived... the parts I checked are the following:

motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
processor: Intel Core i5-760 2,8 GHz LGA-1156
memory: Geil Value Kit2 DDR3 PC10600 1333MHz 4GB (2x2GB)
gfx: Gigabyte GV-R567ZL-1GI ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB (DDR5, PCI-E 2.1)

it doesnt cost so much but looks powerful in every way, what do you
think, will it be a good pc to run any new game on nice settings?

Trev 3 Jan 2011, 12:41
thats almost twice as much as these specifications, i wont have that money and i dont think it would worth it anyway...

You are right, you wont notice it anyway.
i5 is just as good for gaming as the i7. Since HT doesn't help for gaming.

But the 5770 will be better ofc.

Trev 3 Jan 2011, 12:49
the spec i wrote would cost me: 110,000.00 HUF = 394.643 EUR

without HD and with lower graphic card. in other countries pc specs
are cheaper or what? or maybe the processor is better here?

true, but when a six core @ AMD costs roughly the same as a dual/quad core @ intel .. its pretty hard to turn that offer down :p

price performance ratio of AMD is unbeatable.

AMD Phenom II x6 its way more better than Intel Core i5

Fail,i5 beats it easily.it´s not about gHz,it´s about threads handling.
Parent
▼
zenix 3 Jan 2011, 15:19
you are the one who is failing here.
The thing X6 is better with, is handling more threads at the same time. Because it's a hexacore.

Gaming wise i5 is better.

Good choice that gigabyte, they give nice warranty. My gtx460 OC has 3 years.

HIRVI 3 Jan 2011, 14:44
You have to buy new power supply aswell for those components?
▼
garin 3 Jan 2011, 14:53
motherboard looks ok
i recently purchased the 5770 gfx for cheaper than the 5670 from CCL :)
u'll need a new (modular) psu for those components unless u already have one
also, i don't recommend any "value kit" ram simply because it isn't as reliable as the rest

check the specs in my profile for what i recently bought, and infact it's coming tomorrow !!
▼
zenix 3 Jan 2011, 15:18
modular psu is not needed. It's easy, but you don't need it.

And i think 350W power supply is enough already for those specs.
Parent
▼
garin 3 Jan 2011, 15:21
hmm, if i was him i'd go for atleast 430W just to be sure :}
Parent
▼
zenix 3 Jan 2011, 15:22
That setup wont even touch 250W. So that would be overkill.
Parent
▼
garin 3 Jan 2011, 15:24
true, but there's not much price difference between the two :)

e: he could just use this -> http://www.antec.outervision.com/
Parent
▼
zenix 3 Jan 2011, 15:29
The 350W will be more efficient. But 430W is acceptable, if he wants a better GPU in the future. Else he will just be wasting money on a more expensive PSU and on power.

zenix 3 Jan 2011, 15:12
wait sandy bridge is coming this month. And that will blow your i5 away.

So buy P67 motherboard ( socket 1155 ) + i5 sandy bridge = win.

And i would rather invest more in the GPU than CPU for gaming. Since you won't notice it if you are playing on higher resolutions. So i3 sandy bridge will be fine as well.

No love for Bulldozer?
Parent
▼
zenix 3 Jan 2011, 15:25
not if he wants it now or in a few weeks.

You know i love bulldozer.

AMD is good for tweakers, since you can unlock most of there processors. And lately you can even unlock there high-end graphics cards. What more do you want.

Unlike Intel that is limiting overclocking with sandy bridge.

And i am loving my x6 http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/361/23336062.png

speci 3 Jan 2011, 15:53
4.3GHz, impressive, whats cooler you got on it? I don't think this kid is considering overclocking so yah I guess sandy bridge would be the simplest answer to get his performance without having to do anything. What model GTX 460 do you have? I need to replace my 9600GT sometime and looking at trying to get a fairly good card to last me a long time.

zenix 3 Jan 2011, 16:54
I have Gigabyte OC GTX 460, standard version from Gigabyte with 2 coolers. Silent and good cooling.

I have watercooling, my cooling is not an issue while overclocking. And i have 2x240mm radiators.

And the sandy bridge K models ( the only ones you can overclock really good ) are also very impressive with overclocking. 4.6GHZ seems easy to do already
