@ Jaskanwar

We gave almost the same rig. Sorry i didn't see yours as i started writing before you posted. Look at the 1 min posting time difference

 

[noob]

how AMD Phenom ii x4 955 BE performs when compared to intel i5 quad core version CPU ?

I am always afraid of AMD cauz of heating issues.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@ cybertonic, ours totally same except the HDD and mobo. ya, he can consider that hdd and mobo too. better options.

@ talktoanil
i5 is better as compared to phenom but will raise you budget by almost 3k

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

absolutely no heating issues. mostr of us in this forum have amd. see my signature also. my temps are from 42 - 45 C

thats fine with me.50-55K no issues.

can you post intel config for same price range ?

and how about i7 cpu ? when the price is expected to drop ? may be next year ?

 

[SlashDK]

nope, phenom ii is inferior to i5 750. but it costs a lot less too

 

[noob]

CPU Intel Core i5-760 Processor 10800
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P55-US3L Motherboard 6300
HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 7200.12 SATA 3Gbs 3150
RAM CORSAIR CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 4GB (2x2) 5100
GPU ZOTAC GeForce GTX 460 1GB 256-bit Graphic Card 13500
Monitor BenQ 22" G2220 Monitor @ 7500

total 46,850
now tell me a PSU and cabinet.

how is above config compared to AMD ?

 

[SlashDK]

You've left just 5k for cabinet and PSU. The only option is corsair VX 450 @ 3.7k and elite 310 1.5k

any other better option but not too costly ?

1. I want a good PSU which will take care of above config in full load
2. I want a silent system when playing games. So need a good cabinet.

hey man, seriously, get a Phenom 2 rig, you will have plenty of $$$ to spend on other stuff, the extra 4k odd spent is not worth the performance gain, you can get a P2 x6 in this price...
If you do decide to go for a P2, get a nice modular PSU and a decent chassis

except crysis not game supports 6 core.

and which mobo is good for p2 x6 ?

 

[rajan1311]

crysis uses 2 core on my PC, dunno which crysis u talking about
all these mobos recommended for the P2 x4 will be f9 for the x6 too.

 

[blagame]

how bout the 965 BE = 9k ???

 

[noob]

all these mobos recommended for the P2 x4 will be f9 for the x6 too.

microATX boards ? noooooo...its all cramped and then issues again..like i had with my last PC 4 years ago.
suggest me a good ATX mobo for p2 x6.

Heating issues like Intel Pentium 4?

Each company has had its share of bad and good processors.

If you'll go with the Core i5 750 config, you'll end up spending 4-5k more for approximately the same performance. And if you really want to spend 4-5k more, then why not get a better graphic card like ATi HD 5850 in the same AMD config? That would perform better. Just my two cents.

ok lets assume that i m going for AMD and as per your post , does it means that
ATi HD 5850 is better than GeForce GTX 460 1GB 256-bit Graphic Card ??

Exactly.
