hi guys i am trying to upgrade my cpu motherboard which i plan to overclock and use for gaming i think a good intel cpu would will not fit in this budget for a AMD will do PLS suggest me some cpu and their approx rates
quad core is the way to go now. and for 4k, Athlon II X4 635 will suite your need best. with stock cooler you can overclock it past 3.2Ghz & even try undervolting in that overclocked state.
^^+1 for sam.
If you can increase your budget then go with a phenom BE.overclocking will be too easy without any headache of adjusting RAm speed and all.
@ OP - no point in for going with dual core cpu like P2 X2 555 BE as more and more modern games are and will be optimized for multi core cpus - so go with what Sam has suggested and you can even Oc that cpu to 3.7/3.8 Ghz with good aftermarket cooler
Can someoe give me the current market price of
Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H
Asus M4A78-LT-M(Not LE or LX version)
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2
and which is the best for me amongst these ????? i aim for a max 3.5k budget
can't blindly say that. but yes looking at the 3 boards topgear listed, the Asus one is absolutely entrylevel. more phase & a better bios always comes in handy when trying to overclock a processor.
i may have to go with asus bcoz of my budget my budget is 7.5k to 8k m i doing something wrong do i have some choices with the combo ?? i may take a athlon II X4 640 with asus or a phenom II X4 955 BE with Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 ?????
either get Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 or Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H - don't be skimpy for just 500 bucks - in the long run it worth the extra money
If you don't want to OC your cpu much only then think about the combo of 955 BE+Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 but the combo of GA-880GMA-UD2H+955 BE makes more sense
