Hello there,
Im looking to complete a new build project and thought you lot are certainly the people who could help.
Its going too mainly be for 3D projects and rendering (nothing too serious) and depending what GPU I get then maybe some gaming (Crysis has always looked intriguing to me).
My budget is about £850. Excluding Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard.
I was originally looking at an Intel build but since being told to look at what AMD could offer, they seem better value for money but I dont know much compatibility wise.
Ill list the builds Im thinking off below. Any help is super appreciated!!
Intel build:
Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156)
Asus P7P55D-E Intel P55 Express 1156 Motherboard
Asus GeForce GTX 460 Direct CU TOP 768MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Corsair XMS3 4GB 1600Mhz C8
OCZ StealthXStream 2 600W Power Supply
Antec 300 Case
Samsung HD103SJ SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 3.5" Hard Drive
Sony AD-7260S-0B 24x Internal DVD±R/RW/Ram Drive - Black
And the AMD build:
AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1075T 3.00GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail
Asus M4A89GTD PRO AMD 890GX AM3 Motherboard
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 10666C8 1333MHz Dual-Channel (CMX4GX3M2A1333C8)
Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular Silent SLI/Crossfire Ready ATX2.2 Power Supply
ATI FirePro V4800 Graphics Card OR...
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
And this all comes for only £625.70!!
So I have potentially another £200 to play with. what extra do you think I could do with guys or get extra with the money?
Would an SSD be a good option? Them Crucial ones look great!
Will my case handle the heat? I wont be doing any major OC'ing.
Again, many thanks!
