| 872454 | 2010-04-09 23:16:00 | If i were you i'd get the i5 750, much better performance in almost all game benchmarks. And it completely destroys the the x4 in multimedia, multiitasking, desktop, other benchmarks. It also has a lot more headroom for overclocking, and the x4 does not |

| 872455 | 2010-04-09 23:59:00 | Doesn't look too bad but you'll need a different motherboard if you want to get the Phenom CPU, that Gigabyte P55 board is for Intel CPUs... Radeon HD5850 is better than GTX260. CPUs are probably both very similar. What PSU are you getting to power all of that? ???.....The i5 will stomp on the x4 945 |

| 872456 | 2010-04-10 00:00:00 | im not an overclocker and the most multitasking i do would be to have music, internet and msn running and my dual core can do that fine at the moment and apparently games at the moment dont require much at all and i dont mind a bit of lag every once in a while, just need a cheap computer | nerd (109) | ||

| 872459 | 2010-04-10 03:49:00 | go with build 2 and add the 5850, you wont regret it. For monitors, anything will do really, just make sure you get a good warranty with it. Mouse and keyboard is a personal preference. And depending on your budget id go with logitech. I use a Logitech G5 (mouse) and Logitech G13 (keyboard), but they aint cheap |

| 872460 | 2010-04-10 04:44:00 | For a Monitor make sure you get a zero dead pixel type warranty. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 872461 | 2010-04-10 06:03:00 | i was thinking of a logitech mouse, keyboards i dont really mind. i have no idea about lcd screens though. any suggestions? i wont need bigger that a 20-22" monitor. should i get one online? | nerd (109) | ||
| 872462 | 2010-04-10 09:30:00 | Hey mate I would go for build 2 aswel Antec EarthWatts 650W - 134 Kingston HyperX 4G Kit DDR3-1600 - 223 Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB - 127 I would recommend a faster drive for your OS. The green is slow, because its intended for power saving not performance. Get Samsung F3, Seagate, WD black 1tb instead. Defiantley worth the few extra bucks LG GH22NS50 22x SATA INTERNAL OEM - 46 Intel Core i5 750 2.66 GH - 323 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 260 - 336 NOO, THEYRE A BIG RIP OFF for the performance. The GTX260 is about the same as a 5770, and the 5770 is $270 from CL. Get a 5770/5830/5850 - it has DX11 too GIGABYTE P55-USB3 USB3.0 - 231 |
