AMD or INTEL RIG?

RevengE · May 9, 2009

alright guys..I am looking at building another system. For those of you who know me I sold all the componets from my i7 rig to help pay for school. I want a rig that's nice fast and going to be able to play all the new games Coming out, I don't need top of the line componets. I still have my cosmos S my acer g24 and my keyboard/mouse and 850w power supply, all I need is CPU Ram Videocard and motherboard and a nice aircooler. I'm looking to spend maybe 600.00 the less the better. Also anyone here selling a gtx-280 for cheap LMK or even a 285.

I may be selling my e1200 chip soon if yah want it (AMD 5kBE equivalent), does 3.2 8x400fsb almost stock volts like +.02. As far as any other parts, I have none available.

I'm thinking about getting a 940 BE. I might want that though.

yeah better go with the amd and you will have "top of the line componets"

newtekie1 · May 9, 2009

If you want to buy new, you could really go either way.

I think a decent P45 board+E8000/Q9000+GTX275 would suite you needs nicely.

If you want to go even cheaper, you could go with something like an E5200 and an HD4770. You could probably put together a nice setup that will do what you need for under $400.

Hell, even going with an AMD Phenom II 810+decent 780G board+HD4770 would be a damn powerful system for probably half your budget.

Hey man I'm selling my MSI 790GX and Crucial Ballistix 4gb when I get my DDR3 stuff

The ballistix aren't even 3 days old too!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130190R

Got my 720BE at 3.6ghz 1.4v and it handles it great

RevengE · May 11, 2009

alright so..I'm going to go with a PII 940..I am still looking for a MB,VGA and the ram I got is a set of 4gb of corsair Dominator series with a fan. Videos cards I'm intrested in include GTX-260/275/280 I'm going to try nvidia again, I haven't used them for a few years and I'm intrested in the way their cards perform. Suggestions for MB/VGA are welcomed

JrRacinFan · May 11, 2009

Up that to a 945 or go down to a 720BE, just in case you wish to get an AM3 board. Expands your options.

cdawall · May 11, 2009

you can buy my whole rig

phenom 955 (ES)
M4A78T-E
6GB DDR1600 cas7
32GB SLC SSD

Studabaker · May 11, 2009

I've built an Intel system after years of AMD boxes and I am thinking of going back to AMD when I decide to step up from this one. No particular reason really, I've just decided that I prefer the way everything works (and costs) in AMD systems.

buy shadowfold mobo and ram, jrRacinFan videocard and cpu

220+100+shadowstuff = fits your bill

D'Oh, i confused you with cdawall. :laugh:

RevengE · May 11, 2009

I've already decided on the PII 940/4GB of corsair dominator series ram. I need a MB/VGA and CPU aircooler and I'm set. I would like a EVGA VGA in any of the ones mentioned above. motherboard can be anyone that is good and I don't have to bios flash for the PII.

LittleLizard · May 11, 2009

4850 for cdawall and mobo from shadowfold, the rest on a artic freezer 64 or a xiggy

JrRacinFan · May 11, 2009

Since your looking at going back to nVidia green camp....

980a
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131383

750a
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131323

780a's aren't worth the price when you have the 980a for not much premium over the 750a.

ShadowFold · May 11, 2009

The 980a is a 780a with no onboard graphics, exact same board as the M3N-HT 780a.

RevengE · May 11, 2009

Yes, I'm looking at nvidia. I haven't used them in a few years and want to test them out.

RevengE · May 11, 2009

anyone know if they are selling these yet? http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/EAH4890_TOP_SuperML/ because I think this card changed my mind with Nvidia.

wiak · May 11, 2009

try AMD Phenom II 720, 4GB DDR2 1066, 500GB Samsung F1, Radeon HD 4770 and a good 790X, GX or 780G board

same performace as a Phenom II 940 in games and wont cost you a arm and a leg
