my last attempt

[Knunez]

what exactly is the difference between the 460 and 560?

 

[Knunez]

Ok in that case, your original decision is fine. Just making you aware of the alternatives

Thx, but Is the 955 still a good CPU and will it utilize the full power of my GPU?

Thx for the help bigfella

Yeah it will mate, it will be fine. I think the 955 and a 560TI is the way to go though. Whats your max budget, i can have a go of building one for you?

around 750 total with tax without case and OS

(p.s why 560 instead of 460?)

 

[Okedokey]

Last question first. The 560 is about 30% faster and more efficient, however the 460 is a proven overclocker and if you want to go down that route be prepared for heat. In this case the 560 would be about 10% faster.

Secondly, for less than $750 i would get this:

CPU: 2500K - $220

MOBO: ASUS P8P67 LE - $130

RAM: 2 x 2GB - $38

Graphics Card: GTX 560Ti - $160

PSU: CX600 - $48

OPTICAL DRIVE: SONY Black 18X DVD-ROM - $16

HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 - $50

CASE: COOLER MASTER HAF 912 - $50

Total: $755 (with shipping and rebates)

you,sir are amazing

that was a great build thanks for the help

 

[Okedokey]

Just double check all the compatiabilities ok

wait, that GPU is a 550 not a 560

 

[Okedokey]

picked that, changed it

 

[Knunez]

thank you for the help I really apreciate it, and If I wanted I could switch back to a am3 mobo and 955 with the rest of these parts right?

also does this PSU support two of those GPUs in SLI?

 

[Okedokey]

yep, that would be fine.

 

[Knunez]

wow, thank you for the help,with the affordable price of that GPU i'll be able to have them SLI'd sooner than expected

thank you so much for the help

 

[Knunez]

also what does this mean "1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (black, at x4 mode, compatible with PCI Express x1 and x4 devices)" in the MOBO details?

 

[Knunez]

also that is a 560 fermi not 560 ti

 

[Knunez]

also that is a 560 fermi not 560 ti

but, how much of a difference is there performance wise?

 

[jonnyp11]

ti is a decent bit more powerfull, but also costs a nice chunk more normally.

 

[Knunez]

thnx and I hate to double post, but I what does it mean when it says

"1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (black, at x4 mode, compatible with PCI Express x1 and x4 devices)" in the MOBO details?

THX

 

[jonnyp11]

In the description it is listed as 2 x16's i guess but is trully a 16 and a 4/1

and that is not good for SLI/crossfire,right?

nooooooo
