My noob friend again visited the local shop Singh Computers of Asansol, West Bengal without me for quoting price of h/w.This is the link of his 1st time experience *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...c-buying-guide-july-2011-a-6.html#post1467088

Now, Today when he asked the price of i5 2500K, the shopkeeper replied "why are you taking this, phenom x6 1100T is far better than this & as same as i7 980X, phenom x6 1100T is unbeatable & no intel processor can beat this, even AMD Phenom is better than sandy bridge." Now my friend is confused what to buy, cause he is actually noob in h/w knowledge & really doesn't know how better sandy bridge is. I showed him all the benchmarks that prove sandy bridge is the biggest bad a*s but still he is confused. Moreover the shopkeeper said him not to see those benchmarks as well as not to follow forums too cause those things are foolish & fake according to him.

Now I want you guys to reply/comment on this above matter, so plz guys plzzzz help me & post lots of comment because I promised him that today I am gonna create a new thread & ask digit member to comment & he promised me that if he sees all the digit members are with sandy bridge then he will surely buy i5 2500K.

So, guys reply fast.........

shopkeepers have the habit of telling the opposite, always.

Go for 2500K+Z68/P67 combination or if you're not going to overclock choose 2300/2400/2500+H61/H67.

yeah I know we should go for i5 2500K but I want more comments from you guys so that he can see those comments & become convinced. So guys comment more...........& plz comment everyone.....& moreover what happened is my friend was alone at that time & that noob shopkeep had 2 more buddies with him who continuously pressurized him to buy phenom 1100T, so my friend fell short against them & became confused by their words.

Definitely the 2500k and btw, if your friend is not thinking of Overclocking, go for 2500 and save some bucks.

Stick with whatever you have finalized. XFX these days have issues regarding their coolers, their dual fan coolers are pretty noisy compared to the competition. You can get a nice bundle with Sapphire cards or out-of-the-box OC and a great cooler with MSI. XFX has neither. It's not bad, but currently there are better options. And it's a bit costlier too.


XFX PSUs are good, but Corsair is more tried and trusted. And offers a better warranty.

And last but not the least, XFX is handled by Rashi.

Case closed. ;)
