What is better / More future proof?

Interested · 12-30-2007, 04:42 AM

Hey everyone. I was wondering, what is the best mobo/cpu/gfx combo from the ones below:

P35 / e6750 / 8600gt

p35 / e6550 / 8600gts

P35 / e4500 / HD 3850

This is all i can afford. I am using the p35 (Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L), as it is the cheapest 45nm and future proof motherboard. I dont game alot, but i would like to game more, so i would like the best preformance. I would really like the setup to be future proof.

Thanks,
Interested

The P31-DS3L or Neo P31 or any other P31 chipset also supports the 45nm... it's the "sister" of the P35.

3rd one. Mainly for the GFX.

What's your overall budget?

yeah go a P31/HD3850/best cpu you can afford after that

**oscaryu1** · 12-30-2007, 05:04 AM

Hmm, maybe MSI P31/8800GT 256MB/E2200 or so.

i want a P35, bc it supports 8b of ram......and, i dont really want a e2xxx, bc they pretty much have no cache what so ever. Also no fsb. Is there a large diff between the e2200, e4500, or e6550? what about e6750?

Kesava · 12-30-2007, 05:13 AM

why would you want it to support 8 gb ram? thats heaps. the P31 supports 4 gb. thats all you will really need in my opinion. but yeah.

Well, in a year, people will start to get 8gb of ram, and as i said, i MUST make sure its future proof.

Kesava · 12-30-2007, 05:16 AM

i still dont think more then 4 gb will be necessary. better to spend that money on a better cpu. that will help more in the long run

k. i think since i dont game too much, how about a p31(i cant believe im saying this), q6600, and 8600gt 512mb. I know it sucks, but i think its good for cod4, nfsps, and css.....what do you think?

Kesava · 12-30-2007, 05:38 AM

well that would defintely be great haha. but. i reckon get an E6750 and a better graphics card.
