Pretty heavy on the cpu nevertheless... from benchmarks I calculated that the athlon ii x3 gives about 25% less fps in sc2 ultra when compared to i7 920, so I guess I'm fine at average 40 fps.
I always bought ATI-cards because I liked the name. "ATI" sounds cooler than "nVidia", if ATI becomes just AMD then I'm probably going for nVidia because it doesn't sound as sleek anymore... lol
Would Phenom II x2 555 do?
Also, I could get a Sparkle GTX 460 768mb for 20$ more, but will the corsair 400vx be handle it with either i3 530 or PII 555be?
I'm planning to build a low-end PC for some light gaming and general usage, and I've came up with these:
CPU: Athlon II x3 440 (3.0GHz)
MoBo: MSI 770-G45 AM3
RAM: Corsair 2x2GB 1333MHz
GPU: HD 5770 (HIS)
HDD: 500GB Samsung 7200rpm
Some cheapo Samsung dvd-drive
Case: NZXT M59
PSU...
