Solve : Amd or Intel??

Answer»

Hi guys!

Im about to get some new parts for my computer, and i need some advice/help choosing a processor.
I was thinking abour these two:

amd athlon 64 x2 6400+, 3.2GHZ
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2.4GHz

Wich one should i pick?

The processor should be good for gaming!

Thanx! For gaming you might want to get a Core Two Duo E6850. Most games do not use all FOUR cores in a quad. Unless you are doing some hard core apps/editing then the other two cores will not be used. E6850 can be overclocked better.thanx man, the price isnt bad and the nearest shop has got it!

thanx again, FilluXi'll go for amd for gaming...I did here that amd was better for gaming but I still prefer intelGo for the quad core.
Most games do not use all four cores, true, but the extra performance will be easily seen elsewhere, and other applications will not interrupt your gaming.
Or, go for a Core 2 Duo E6550 - it's the best value for money from the line and can be overclocked to extremely good speeds if you're confident enough.
AMD's CPUs do not measure up to Intel's Core 2 lineup.
Finally, what other components do you have/are you buying?Im also buying a good Gpu , that also should be good for gaming, and i have to buy a new motherboard aswell...

Any suggestions?



These all three new have to work with eachother...(ofcourse...)

gpu:??
mobo:??
Cpu: Core 2 duo e6550 or Core 2 Duo E6850

Can't you just make a thread asking for a whole PC? I know that you're unknowledged in this field, but it's only common curtesy.

Anyway..

Motherboard - Any 680i board, or wait 2 weeks for 780i
Graphics Card - 8800 GT (get 2 if you want)
CPU - Q6600 (buy the Ultra 120 eXtreme with it)

There. Should COST 600$ together, or 850$ if you're going with two 8800 GTs.aaight, i searched for the parts you suggested, but all together its a bit too excpensive, but how about these:

nForce 650i Ultra, DDR2, SATAII (Core 2 Duo)

8600GTS PCIE 256M 2X DVI HDCP

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850

Transcend JetRam 2GB Dual Channel Kit (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800MHz 240-pin DIMM

I live in Finland so ofcourse the prices are a bit different from the states or where all you guys come from, and what is new here may be like 4 months old there?? im not sure... Quote from: FilluX on November 01, 2007, 09:54:21 AM

Very well. No problem. Let's just make a few changes to the list.

Instead of 650i Ultra, search for 650i SLi. You MUST have an SLi board. And besides, the 650i SLi boards only cost a little bit more than the 650i Ultra boards.

The ONLY graphics card you can buy is the 8800 GT. If it's not out yet in Finland, then wait for it. I repeat, the ONLY card. Here in the US it's only 200$, which is only a little bit more expensive than the 8600 GTS.

The E6850 and the Q6600 cost the exact same amount, so why buy the E6850? If you are desperate for saving even a few dollars, then get the E6750, but I highly reccomend the Q6600.

As for the RAM.. you only need RAM that is capable of 800Mhz, so any 800Mhz modules with CL4 LATENCY (4-4-4-12) should be fine.Aight, how about this:

MSI P6N SLI Platinum ATX

CLUB 3D GeForce 8800GT 512M GDDR3

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2.4GHz, SKT775, FSB1066, 2X4MB cache

Transcend JetRam 2GB Dual Channel Kit (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800MHz 240-pin DIMM

?


And, how powerfull Psu would i need for all this to work? Quote from: FilluX on November 01, 2007, 01:25:16 PM

That will be fine.

Something like the Thermaltake Toughpower 600-750w. Where did you find the other components? I'll show you exactly what to buy.I live in Finland so from a finnish site, i dont know if you speak finnish?

I found a these 2 that have a resonable price, any good??

Antec TruePower Quattro 850W

Zalman ZM850-HP, 850W Quote from: FilluX on November 03, 2007, 11:30:37 AM

Zalman ZM850-HP, 850W

The first will do fine. But they are both two much. You don't need 850w even for 8800 GT SLi.oh i found this from another shop

Toughpower 750W Cable Management

aint that the one you were TALKING about?

and, i was gunna buy a case also, the antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer ATX, the psu fits the case, right?

and, the motherboard, i found this (MSI P35 NEO-F Intel P35) wich is much cheaper, is it ok or do i have to buy the MSI P6N SLI Platinum ATX ?

thanx
