CPU: Intel Core i5-750 Box
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-P55-US3L
Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 3.5" 1000GB SATA2 32MB
Ram : G.Skill DDR3 4096MB (2048MBx2) 1333Mhz CL 7-7-7-21
Graphic card : Sapphire 5850HD.
Case : Cooler master CM690
Power supply : Seasonic S12 Energy plus 550W.


The screen im using is a 22" Samsung P2250. 2ms and 1920X1080.

how will this computer run? will it show good results with games like GTA 4 and Fallout 3 at FULL HD resolution and high graphic settings? Is the power supply strong enough for this set?
 
Very good machine,It will handle pretty much all games out there right now and still get decent framerates on high settings.

Nice choice on the case! I have one too,Modded though. :P
 
That is a nice PC I wish I had one like that but hey mine was really cheap and still runs like a dream.

Good choice on PC though
 
They're both quad cores and all, the only major difference is the i7 has Hyper-Threading. HT won't give you any performance increase in games because they aren't multi-threaded.

You'l be perfect with i5.

not trying to hijack the thread but one more question! If the i5 is just as good for games what about upgradability?

Yeah but not many games actually use the 4 cores :)

When I fire up the Dirt 2 Demo - I get all 4 cores registering betweeen 25 - 50 % usage when my truck starts rolling around from a crash.

I'm guessing many of the new games that come out will use 4 cores.

Game's will take use of a quad-core if that's what you mean? I'm talking about Hyper-Threading now, where you will have 4 processing cores and another 4 virtual cores. Multi-threaded programs take full use of the 8 cores to process on, while in benchmarks it has been proven the have HT can in some case actually lower your frame-rate.

Back to the original topic hehe, Is the seasonic 550W a good PSU and even beyond for this kind of computer machine? A friend says 550W isnt enough.

by the way, how will this run the latest games out in the market?
ty for the replies :)

Yes, Seasonic is an excellent brand, yes, 550W will be enough, and it will run the latest games on the market very, very well, you'll be quite happy with it :D
