hi guys i am plannning to spend at least $390 for my budget gaming pc.so please help me get the best sysytem
out of my choices which can easily run 3 years without any upgrading.(just tired of spending again n'again)
my choices are:
PROCESSORS;
1.AMD PHENOM II X2 555 BE RUNNING AT 3.2 GHZ OR
2.AMD ATHLON II X4 635 @ 2.9 ghz (BOTH FOUND AT 100 $ OR EVEN LESS FOR PHENOM II X2 AT 85$)
IS THIS QUAD CORE VERY GOOD AT GAMING AT THIS $100 PRICE POINT OR PHENOM II X2 555 BE BETTER THAN ATHLON II X4 635
IN GAMING? I HARDLY DO MULTI TASKING WHILE I PLAY SO WHICH IS GOOD BUY SPECIALLY FOR FUTURE AS WELL.
RAM:
2 GB DDR2 RAM.
GRAPHICS CARD
1.RADEON HD 5670 1 GB @70$
2.PNY GEFORCE GTS 450 1 GB @ 95
3.RADEON HD 5770 1 GB @ 120$
MY CORRENT MONITOR IS 17" CRT, ITS 1 YR OLD BUT RUNS REALLY WELL WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.ALSO CURRENTLY I HAVE NO
ANY EXTRA MONEY TO SPEND ON LCD MONITORS OR I AM HAPPY WITH THIS RESOLUTION CURRENTLY. ITS MAX RESOLUTION SUPPORT IS 1280 X 1024
PIXELS AND WITH ANY ABOVE GRAPHICS CARDS I WANT TO HAVE REALLY SMOOTH GAMING PERFORMANCES AT RESOLUTION 1280 X 1024 PIXELS
WITHOUT A PROBLEM(WITH AA, AF,WITH ALSO DX 11 ENABLED FOR SOME GAMES IN THIS RESOLUTION FOR FUTURE).PERFORMANCES AT 1680 X 1050 WITH
AA/AF ENABLED OR DISABLED,ALSO DX 11 PLAYBLE. I ASKED THIS HIGHER RESOLUTION COMPATIBILITY SPECIALLY BECOZ I WILL SURELY REPLACE MY
OLD SCREEN WITH NEW LCD SCREEN ON NEAR FUTURE(WHEN MY BANK STARTS TO REFILL) SUPPORTING THIS RESOLUTION(BUT NOT MORE THAN THIS).
ANOTHER QUESTION IS THAT WILL ANY OF THE ABOVE CHOSEN PROCESSORS WILL STOP THESE GRAPHICS CARDS TO PERFORM AT THEIR MAX SPEED AT GAMING?I SPECIALLY
CHOSE GAMES LIKE DEVIL MAY CRY, FIFA 11,CALL OF DUTY GAMES,BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY,PRINCE OF PERSIA,NEED FOR SPEED,GTA,WOW,ETC. BUT
THESE ARE THE MOST PREFFERED GAMES THAT I WOUD LIKE TO PLAY AT MY 17" CRT SCREEN. SO WHICH IS THE BEST ONE TO CHOOSE?
PLEASE HELP!!! COZ THIS IS D MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY SYSTEM BUILD. SOME SAY 5770 WILL BE JUST MONEY WASTE DUE TO MY SCREEN RES AS IT
IS SAID TO PERFORM REALLY WELL @ ALSO 1920 X 1200 WHICH I HAVE NOT DECIDED TO BUY SCREEN THAT SUPPORTS THESE RESOLUTIONS.
SOME SAY HD 5670 WILL FIT MY NEEDS PERFECTLY GIVEN MY CURRENT SCREEN AND AT ALSO 1680 X 1050 RES FOR FUTURE.SO IM REALLY CONFUSED
WHICH TO CHOOSE.
