Hello all....

I am new to this forum and very impressed at the way it is all layed out. Very nice to see that so many are willing to help people out. Anyway's the reason I am starting this thread is to get some feed back as to what some of you may think of the system I am putting together.

Any positive feed back would be welcome

Thankyou....winterwolf_RNA

hmm... if u are buying new stuff i´d recommend to you IMHO to but a Core 2 Duo instead of the AM2.

What is that ??? :p
 
Hi Leslie....


Thanks for your input but I am going to stick with the am2 because the core 2 duo is great for rippin music watching movies, etc etc.... but the am2 is the best possible choice for gaming it has beaten the core 2 duo in that area.

hehe, i am currently using an Athlon 4600+ X2 sckt 939 and i´m happy with that ;) Core 2 Duo vs AM2 is a tight race indeed, both are very good processors, so go for it ! :)​
 
Thx for your comments much apprecaited, going to have lots of fun owning other gamers in Rainbowsix vegas and when crysis comes out...omg...it is going to be so awsome!

I'm sorry, but that statement is utterly wrong. Core 2 Duo is far superior to AMD's AM2 processors in terms of gaming; check for yourself! Every gaming benchmark i find, even the low-end C2D annihilates AM2, look here, for example.

I'm sure you'd be hardpressed to find some evidence stating otherwise; but if not, please share.
I seriously recommend that you consider Intel. AMD is no longer the king of gaming platforms.

EDIT: I suggest you have a read of this article, too. Core 2 Duo wins in every test, with as much as a 30% greater performance over the equivilent AMD processor.
 
Thx mansize...

Appreciate the info and I stand corrected but I will still stick with amd because I like their products can afford them and we all know that amd, sometime down the road, will be coming out with a pro that will probably kick intels butt.:) My machine will still be plenty fast enough to play all the lates games that are coming out this year.

Thx again....winterwolf_RNA
 
That's fine. I mean, at the end of the day it's your build. But even if AMD does bring out a top-performer in their next line of processors, it doesn't mean you have to go with them this time round. All i'm saying is that, in this day and age, Intel is the way to go. I've always be an AMD fan, myself- mainly because they always dominated the gaming market with their processors. When i started planning my rig with the current lines of processors out, i immediatly thought that AMD was still king of the hill, and it came as a real shock seeing Intel take the gaming market. For me, it's got to be Intel for the rig i'm building in a few months time. But if you prefer AMD's products, by all means, get an AMD CPU- their prices are certainly making them more and more attractive, i must say.

I hope you enjoy your build! :)
 
Thx mansize....

Appreciate all of the positive feed back and knowledge you have shared, it is great to see someone as kean as I am about gaming.

Blind you are. I used to be a product (appearantly i cant say this word but it consists of the letters oybnaf) :D , but frankly it doesnt matter if its a Amd Or Intel although Id have to agree with the core 2 duo instead of AM2, When it comes down to it who cares what is powering it, as long as it does it faster and better than the other, which right now is the core 2 duo

You know you want it!

I have the same PSU and HD that you chose and I have no complaints. The PSU will give solid voltage even when under full load which is always a good thing.

Good luck with your AMD build.

Edit: unsure about that mobo. The 590 series sucked for Intel not sure bout AMD.

STOP FLASHING THAT GAY LINK. THERE ARE AMD LOVERS YOU KNOW.

OVERCLOCK > C2D.

IF YOU LIKE C2D GOOD FOR YOU. STOP TRYING TO SHOVE IT DOWN OUR NECKS.

wow... must you flame a guy for stating his opinion (which is actually backed by many many many benchmarks...), i personally like AMD better(like the underdog hehe) but my new rig will be an intel since they do a better job.

P.S. not everyone knows or wants to OVERCLOCK... think about that...;)

Wow this is awsome, thx for joining in on the discussion guy's. The mobo should be fine warrior. From what I have read in some reviews they have updated the bios which in turn has taken care of the isues they were having.
