I cannot Afford a 3570K and a Z77 board at all! Only 8350 vs 3470!

 

[hotshot2797]

Hello?

 

[dudeknows]

get the 3470 and GA z77x ud3h

 

[hotshot2797]

get the 3470 and GA z77x ud3h

Why? And why get Z77 when I can't even overclock?

 

[dudeknows]

For the future cpu upgrades, well you don't need the upgrades for awhile..

Then get the H77 mobo if you don't like Z77

 

[quas]

for normal applications and gaming, use ivy bridge. more power efficient, even stock cooler is good enough.

 

[hotshot2797]

Haha Thanks Mate! Actually the LGA1155 socket is EOL whereas as AMD plans to release the steam roller CPU"s with the AM3+ socket. Also the FX is overclockable. And guys, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4et7kDGSRfc is this reliable?

 

[hotshot2797]

Guys Anyone I need help please

Hello!

 

[chromic]

i say wait for haswell

 

[iceclock]

get a h77 board and 3470 ull be set.

 

[brutisoe]

ok ! wait a minute !! if you cant afford the intel why even ask ???? buy the amd and quit asking a question that will end in you buying a amd anyway !

 

[iceclock]

he can afford it but i dont think he can afford a decent z77 board. theres a difference

 

[brutisoe]

either way , it ends up the same ! he wont want a cheep z77 board ! so amd ! and lets face it ! As much as i hate to admit it !! AMD 8350 CPU AND A 7870 GPU IS THE BEST MIX FOR THE MONEY ! HANDS DOWN !

 

[iceclock]

or h77+3470+7870xt

 

[brutisoe]

NOW THERE IS A VERY GOOD IDEA !!!! MY HAT IS OFF TO ICECLOCK !

 

[dudeknows]

or h77+3470+7870xt

+1

lol y downgrade the graphic card form 7950 to 7870..... to get a i5.
totally crazy option. you will get more from a good graphic in game.

a i5 3470 with h77 is totally not worth it.
if want get a i5 with a K and z77 to get the most out of your computer.

If you really concern with performance/ price ration then get a fx6300 or fx8350

OP if u really plan to get a steamroller end of this year or early next year then you should get a fx6300.

I just want to add I had the worst time with Lian Li ever...the case i bought had usb 3.0 on the front and they never worked all they did was destroy anything plugged into it. I emailed them several times and never got one response. Id stay away

u can cut some cost if go with fx 8320

 

[hotshot2797]

I'll go with the 8350. Also for the MB Which is better, Sabertooth 990fx Rev 2.0 or Asrock Fatal1ty? The ASROCK one has lots of acessories but Asus Sabertooth I heard is pretty awesome. Also I'll be overlocking in the future with a Hyper TX3

 

[hotshot2797]

Hello?

 

[computernewb]

you'll be fine with either motherboard. but i would get the fatality because it has more features (extra 3.0 usb ports, esata 6 mb/s, extra pci express/ slot). you may or mayb not use it all but why not get it just incase.. plus the fatality is cheaper (atleast here in the US)
