    First computer build, help appreciated :)

    For gaming, video card is much more important than CPU. HD 4670 is not really that good for gaming I recommend that you get a cheaper CPU and motherboard like these http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115221&cm_re=core_i3-_-19-115-221-_-Product...

    Integrated Intel laptop graphics vs. old discrete desktop graphics

    The integrated graphics used by i3 and i5 is much faster than FX5200, but that doesn't mean that it is good for gaming, unless you play old games or light games. Age of Empire 3 is an old game. i3/i5 should run that game without much problems Also the upcoming Sandy-bridge graphics should be...

    HTPC build !

    I would suggest i3-550 instead of i5-650 which is $50 cheaper, and only difference is that i3-550 lacks turbo boost http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115065&cm_re=i3_550-_-19-115-065-_-Product

    CPU Speed vs. Cores

    i5 dual core @ 4GHz would be much faster than Phenom X4 2.1GHz in both multitasking and single threaded applications However the difference in single threaded applications would be much bigger But I don't think there is a phenom X4 with only 2.1GHz clock speed, anyway Also, I don't recommend...

    My Computer Build for less than $1000

    Your Opinion: Bulldozer vs. Sandy Bridge

    Those who say that Sandy-bridge can't overclock are very wrong. All Sandy-bridge CPUs are going to overclock. But the ones that don't have fully unlocked multi are going to have limited overclocking ability As you see above, intel is going to make sandybridge CPUs with either partially...
