My current computer is about to die and so I'm going to trash it and build a new one...
Some important things to know: I do NOT overclock stuff, it's just not worth the hassle. So don't recommend things on it's overclocking abilities. Thank you. Second, money is an issue. I mean, I can afford the best stuff and I'll happily pay for the best stuff, as long as its really cost efficient. I don't want to pay, for example, an extra $300 on an FX when I can get a 3800+ thats showing similar benchmark results...Also, my main use from this computer isn't going to be database crunching or movie making, it's going to be gaming, so that's all I really care about as far as numbers are concerned...
Now, first, which is better...the 3.0C or the 3200+? I've seen contradicting benchmarks and I decided to just come here and ask you...
Second, is the difference between the 3200+ and the 3400+ enough to warrant the increase in price? Again, I don't care about overclocking so don't tell me that I can overclock the 3200+ to a 3249834959353+.
And finally, if a different proc that I haven't mentioned, UNOVERCLOCKED, is something that you feel is the most cost efficient, powerful proc that you would spend your hard earned money on, let me know what it is, thanks...
Thank you.
