11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans:

I am confused between AMD & Intel rig, if you guys gimme good AMD rig then i might be able to buy a good GPU or if you guys think i should go for intel then i would have to wait for 2-3 months more for getting GPU to go with intel rig,
i will use old GPU if going with intel rig

My current pc spec: 2gb ram DDR3 , Intel core2duo e7500 , 2GB DDR3, 160GB hdd, AMD HD6450, dabba cabinet. ( how much will i be able to sell this old rig)

guys all i want to play all upcoming games for like next 2yrs with 30-60fps very high/ultra settings in 1600 x 900 resolution

PS: I can wait for GPU if rig cost exceeds the budget .

i was thinking of amd8350 , mobo to go with it , 2x4gb ram

also, SLI/Crossfire is cheap or 1single gpu will come cheap?

you wish to play games at "very high settings", then change your GPU too. HD6450 is extremely weak, and several generations too old.

Hi [MENTION=314354]xtr3m3[/MENTION],

Just a suggestion, maybe you could add 2 sticks of 4GB RAM. if you run 2 RAM sticks, you will be running memory in dual channel which will be a greater increase in performance than running a single stick in single channel.

hi [MENTION=293224]DK_WD[/MENTION]

i have already request for 2x4gb,

the link for 4gb ram link was diff , idk if all rams are already manufactured dual channel or there are normal rams (non dualchannel usable)

if i use 2x4gb dual channel , does the MB supports xmp?
