@Sam :- Thanks for the info on X3 vs Athlon X4. And about the Phenom II X4, was just telling him the cheapest II X4 .

my pleasure buddy

also that X4 is priced badly. just little more will fetch a X4 945. or add 1k & get a BE. still good for some peoples needs.

for whom? if you, better forget this pc & have a totally different rig.

Processor: Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz @ 4.7k
Motherboard: Biostar TA785G3 HD @ 4.2k
Ram: Corsair 4Gb DDR3 1333 Value @ 5.7k
Hard Disk: Western Digital 500Gb Blue @ 2k
Graphics Card: MSI HD5770 HAWX 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.8k
Optical Drives: LG GH22NS50 @ 1.1k
PSU: FSP Saga II 500 Watts @ 2.8k
Cabinet: NZXT Gamma @ 2.2k (forget M59. if you want looks, M59 too costly)
Monitor: Benq G2220HD 22” @ 7.5k (street price close to 8k)
Keyboard Mouse: Logitech Internet Desktop @ 0.7k
Speaker: Creative SBS A300 @ 1.3k

Total: 42k.

now to the above setup, modify to raise the price to 45k or simply send it to me for giving u this config

your or friends, get the one i suggested or modify according to his needs.

this is what you suggested:

a slow Phenom II X4. 2Gb slow DDR3. VX550W. non Full HD monitor. a fast card. a super cool cabby.

its like a uneven road. 1 good product. 1 slow component. 1 stylish component. OH MAN !!! you simply messed A-Z of this config.

whats wrong with phenom
its not slow as compared to athlon II x4 630

and i meant 1333mhz,it was a typing mistake

and that monitor is full HD

 

[pulsar_swift]

Is he saying X4 925 might act a bottleneck for 5770 Hawk, as it lacks clock speed ?

 

[Piyush]

OC will solve that
and 925 too has 2.8 speed,same as 630

 

[coderunknown]

2.8Ghz Vs 2.8Ghz (with free L3 cache & extra 2k premium). you'll get some 5% performance hit with the X4 630. not bad at all considering you getting 2k rebate.

and that monitor is full HD

is it so? its 20" so doubted. no problem than.

 

[pulsar_swift]

Hhm,yes we can OC the proccy. For that config VX550 is not required. A VX450 will suffice,even with moderate OC to 3 - 3.2 Ghz

 

[Piyush]

ok then
i'll ask him to go for athlon
in fact i was going for that option for myself

what about mobo?
i need the one with USB3

nope. i was telling he simply wasting money.

OC will solve that

as it got 6Mb L3 cache, so you OC, proccy will immediately heat up. so, OC will not go past 3.1-3.2Ghz while running cool.

also L3 cache don't play a huge part. clock speed matters.

 

[Piyush]

for gaming-yes

but for encoding and stuff-it sure helps

 

[coderunknown]

what about mobo?

USB 3.0? why? ok if he wants ask him get the Gigabyte GA785GMT-USB3. not sure if i spell the name correct but its something like this.

@sam

@pulsar

[coderunknown]

for gaming-yes

Tom's Hardware wrote an article "Does L3 cache help in gaming". read it once. not much. you can also check X4 630 review. when it was pitted against the X4 965BE. 965 beat X4 630, but by a small margin.

 

[Piyush]

i meant "yes" it does not play that much role
already read that article

 

[coderunknown]

X6 will need new better motherboard (most think so) & also will affect budget.
