I think the party is more inclined to intel's performance than amd.Talking about turbo boost all the time.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i will suggest you to not fix the budget for each component and go for ones that best fit your budget and purpose....

 

[SlashDK]

for that budget AMD is a much more viable option as you can get AMD's hexacore with AMD TurboCore (AMD's counterpart to TurboBoost).

 

[ico]

Core i7 is not possible in this budget.

 

[fatalcore]

Guys at least suggest few configurations,
he said the he can pull the budget to 50K , if thats necessary.But not to over shoot the budget deadline thats 50k

@cybertonic
I herd that AMD Turbocore is only good at - threading till 3 threads after that its saturated , where as turbo boost operates more silky at all purpose.Please note that I JUST HERD . I am not too well aware about the concept of turbo boost and turbo core technology.

Well recently i purchased the powercolor HD5670 , and this party was too fasinated to see the graphics in pop5 , modernwarefare2 , Battlefield bad company 2 and AC2.
So he thinks that card is enough to play game for next 1-1.5 year.

So please suggest the i7 config....
Cybertronic u can also suggest amd config,keeping the budget in mind.

I will be glad to receive all your expert suggestion.

thanks and regards.

go with any CPU, in the end the main difference in going to be made by the GPU!
can you tell us which kind of games the person is going to be playing mainly?

 

[VarDOS]

you need a minimim of 60k budget to get a good balanced Ci7 RIG! so try to extend the budget.

 

[vinyasmusic]

DUDE ................. Forget INTEL ............
Stick to AMD
i7 wont be viable ...... get AMD X6 ........

its one of the best mobos availbel for AMD(i have it)!
its a really good mobo for OCing, multi GPU setup & lots of other good features. but its really expensive - 16K, so not worth going for it as its going to get the VFM down a lot!

1: Yes!
2: Yes!
3: get a TV!
