oh he who has copied and pasted their system from System Information
Spikey, can you explain the difference between an i7 2700k and the Phenom II X6 960T 6 Core Unlocked? besides the obvious difference in manufacturer, architecture, number of cores and price...
i choose AMD and ATI products (in terms of Graphics cards and Processors) because they are catered to what i need in those components, their boxes look better and they are MUCH MUCH cheaper....
OK, the Asus Mars II which has 2 580 GTX Cores on the same card ran $1500 on Newegg and they boast it's the "fastest graphics card known to man" kind thing...but honestly, those who spend greater than $200-$250 dollars on a graphics card that was released in the previous six months needs to get a life....or give me some of their cash...
Speaking of which: Gene Wilder Meme Time
the difference?
well first of all there is no such thing as the AMD Phenom II X6 960T six cores because what you actually meant (in your original post) is the AMD Phenom II X4 960T which is a Quad Core.
Secondly an i7 2700k is immensely more powerful than the X4 960T in pretty much every apsect. But have a look here for yourself: PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End
Furthermore nVidia and Intel are at the moment ahead by a fair margin ... the GTX 680 is just ridiculous (PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmarks - High End Video Cards).
AMD will need to work overtime to keep up with the competition; same with their CPU. The Bulldozer has arguably been a flop and soon the Ivy Bridge CPU will come out.
yes but there is a Phenom II X6 1045T...which is a 6 core...

frankly i'm basing my OPINION on my experience with Nvidia and Intel. the last 2 Nvidia Cards i wasn't too fond of. yes, it was a Geforce MX440, and 6200 running on AGP, however the drivers have never ever worked for me...even with the Geforce 440 GT i had for a short while. considering it says the newest drives would be compatible with the 6200 i was running (at the time) it just never worked. i was limited to 169.24 drivers...which REALLY bothered me. Intel i've had problems with in terms of reliablilty. i was rockin' a Pentium 4 for a long long time. due to the fact the Pentium 4 was incredibly old at the time when i last used it, it was still fairly old tech when i first got it. the lack of reliability came in forms of blue screens and random shut downs. could be due to the fact it was a Dell, who knows. i finally got an AMD Athlon X2 4600+ Dual Core and i fell in love with AMD. i eventually got an ATI Radeon 4650 running AGP with 1gb of ram...never going to buy Intel or Nvidia again
Spikey, i feel like you 1-up'd me. and made me feel insecure about my knowledge of tech...
Look at this: X6 1055T vs i7 2600k AnandTech
- Bench - CPU
Intel just 'destroys' AMD atm
To be fair I only started informing myself about PC stuff during the last summer because I plan on buying a desktop some when this year eventually...
And if there is one thing I learned is that the AMD vs Intel discussion is purely based on subjective preferences. I am interested in one thing; that my PC can run all games fluently (and perhaps recording/video editing in the near future). The differences in FPS are not very significant.
Let's say you buy a X6 1055T with a Radeon 6950 and compare it to a i7 2600k with a 580 GTX... yes the latter will be more powerful but the differences in FPS really don't matter. It's only junkies with too much money who buy a graphic card every second month.
I can build a 550 euros PC and a 900 euro PC but the more powerful will absolutely not make my gaming experience more enjoyable because I get 60 FPS instead of 35 or 40...
I've had AMD (ATI), Nvidia and Intel and never had problems with either.
cool story bro. you tell that one at parties?
in case your ignorant, i dont care at this point. no further statements
for a change
I'm currently running an AMD Dual Core 5500+ 2.6GHz
GeForce GTS 450
4GB RAM (3.7GB used only) on Win32bit
19'' wide screen from Philips
going to be sold as package shortly before moving.
And when arriving I'm going to get an Alienware
Then I beatz your buttz

dont get Alienware. it's run by dell...and dell's computers suck! Abra, i will have no sympathy for you when your overprice machine takes a nose dive between 6 months and 1 year of owning it...they're good machines, but only for a while. had many many people tell me "oh it conked out after 6-7 months"
Well then I will do it like I did it here.
Building it up myself.
Might be cheaper anyway
And when its ready then I will still kickz your buttz
building your own PC is always cheaper... and Alienware is just overpriced and simply not worth it

I don't know about alienware, because I have never used one, and I never will... And I agree that custom build(your build) is the way to go, of course if you know what you are doing... Otherwise it's better to buy pre made one
This is mine (after 6 months of collecting parts)
I am planning to run ESXi on this one.
It's OverClocked @ 4 Ghz (tested 75 gigaflops according to LinX)
EVGA X58 Classified3
Intel Core i7 970
Corsair Hydro H100
Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 kit
EVGA GeForce GTX 580
Corsair HX750W PSU
OCZ RevoDrive X2 PCI-Express SSD
And stuff
OC'ing is attached
i recommend custom built.
the system i built was less than $500 and it can run Battlefield 3 on Max settings with a comfortable fps of 30-40 frames...
sure my motherboard doesn't support Crossfire beyond more than Radeon HD 4850, but i have a 6670 and it works fine for me
but the 7xxx HD Radeon series is sex in a video card...dont think you'll find 28nm GPU on an Nvidia...
i will however wouldn't mind an Asus Mars II...if there wasn't only 999 made and wasn't $1500

and may i ask what case you have? the SATA ports on your mobo look extremely inappropriately placed...
No problems with sata connections as dIstance is 10 cm. My Casing is a Corsair Obsidian 800D as the MOBO is Extended ATX. That Case is BIG.
