Which cpu should i buy?

[JimShady23]

Well

I personally dont smoke in the house either but that port came in handy for lots of other stuff besides lighting a cigarette...Cell phone charger ect ect....

And since when is Lian-Li designed for Intel systems ? My AMD runs fine in it geesh

I am not saying...

I am not saying it won't I am saying it was built for the air flow request of Intel not AMD. You can use the system no problem ATX is ATX But the Case was built to sell with Intel hardware... then again My Thermaltake was as well and out of about 45 systems I have seen and another 52 I have built, maybe 15 had Intel hardware in them... Then again the case was ment as a mini server and I think I have only seen and built 5-6 severs with the case.

Be Carefull...

Well my friend you have a lot of options.

Im going to list the highest of highest componants that you can buy for 1500 pounds.....


CPU - Not that the FX series isnt cool and all but in the truth of the matter they dont out perform the 4000+ by that much in most applications so I really dont see the need to spend $400-800 more for one.

Sound - If you desire go with a PCI based sound card....Onboard sound is great and handy but it does draw away from CPU performance in games some say - but I have not ever noticed so I leave this as optional equipment.

Case - Last but not least and of course your opion and own personal style will prevail over my taiste overall and you will probably not pic this case but I am just showing you as an example as what you should be going with in terms of cooling and case functuality.

Just to show you what this baby looks like jammed pack with componants and how it still looks presentable instead of wire mayhem here is a link to Lian-Li PC-65B.

Your not going to find a case with better wire managment and storage space in a mid-tower without going 2 a full -- Does it look like I have 5 hard drives in there ?

For all of that I have listed it runs about $2500us 1440 pounds
Of course you will have to find a Euro shop with newegg.coms awesome prices..

With that you will exceed most of the gaming world......

Be Carefull... Some games run slower in RAID 0 but overall it is a good thing to do just do your homework one the games you are running as RAID 0 would be a good thing to do.
