| 1196604 | 2011-04-23 06:01:00 | How would an i3-540 and a Sapphire HD5770 perform? (on something like cyrsis, as thats such a bench marking game) | hkingsbury (13817) | ||
| 1196605 | 2011-04-23 06:11:00 | How would an i3-540 and a Sapphire HD5770 perform? (on something like cyrsis, as thats such a bench marking game) It's OK. Average. Ish. Take a look at www.tomshardware.com Look at the VGA charts first, graphics is the number one important component, then the CPU charts - 2nd importance. |

| 1196606 | 2011-04-23 08:56:00 | I'd struggle to recommend such an old platform. You can get an i5 2400 for around $300 - 2 generations newer, higher clocked and has turbo at that. And you can get an 1155 board for around $250-ish (gigabyte, so a deecnt brand too) so the overall price shouldn't be much different. As for GPU, I'd go with an HD5850, HD6850, GTX460 1GB or GTX560 depending on budget. X1 |

| 1196607 | 2011-04-23 09:10:00 | What store is giving you that quote? If it's up to date, they're REALLY trying to get rid of old two-gen-behind hardware AND rip you off big time at the same time. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 1196608 | 2011-04-23 10:56:00 | Just occurred to me, won't you need an OS as well? Unless of course you have one lying around. An OEM (Win7) will be around $180. | Richardd150 (13927) | ||
