New Specs

[Jimmy]

Now, I am gonna ask my dad for a new processor. But I'm really confused regarding what to buy. Currently using Core2Quad. I'm thinking of switching to i5.

 

[Zahreah]

What's your price range?
This will help loads.

 

[Jimmy]

@Hulu: Yeah, mate it's worth getting but my bro would prefer Intel.

@Voi: Around $5000. More upgrades too.

 

[Zahreah]

You have a price range of $5000?
Simple.
i7 3770k. Overclock To 4.4Ghz. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-3770K-Processor-1155/dp/B007SZ0EOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341517397&sr=8-1&keywords=i7+3770K

Depends on what your current processor is, as you can't switch from Intel to AMD.

What is your current processor?

 

[Jimmy]

Motion, I currently use Core2Quad.

Thinking of switching to i5 like Voi suggested.

Tell us what else you plan to buy so we can give you the best choice.

$5000 is alot of money.

 

[Jimmy]

I got other plans with 5000. Like a good graphics card that can last me some good years. I'll ask my dad and get back to you all.

 

[Pulseeey]

Remember, a simple GTX 550 Ti can run most games nowadays, don't go wasting your money.

 

[Zahreah]

Although.
If he's after a graphics card that will last him years.
I Suppose anything in the GTX 600 Series will fit that.

 

[Pulseeey]

Voi, that's just a dumbass decision, look at cod4 compared to MW3.. barely any fucking difference in graphics.. 600 series is just emptying your wallet for nothing.

 

[Zahreah]

Well.
It's whether he is wanting to play all games max till like 2015 a 550 TI isnt going to handle like crysis 4 Max is it?

It's a total rip off now.
But worth it for the future. IMO

 

[Pulseeey]

A 570 can't handle crysis 1 maxxed out.

Crysis is just a hog game, plus. it's shit.
