If you're referring to Crossfire, both of these computers will be able to run it at max settings very smooth. Crossfire isn't a bench mark game :P

My old comp wasn't going very smooth xD
Thats why I wanna feel like ''wow'', my FPS is high ^^

Lets think about his price in Euro now.. he said his parents would pay.
I would have refer him to tigerdirect.com in that case, or ncix.com but in Euro.. I dont know the price but for a quad core (except AMD) youll be around 900-1000Euro.

My parents are just giving me a half of the money that costs the computer. I pay the rest.

Nice computer though

Ramdxz · August 2010

I think personally you'll get around - "180-240" FPS If setttings are set to Low;
High settings "150-190" FPS

Agreed.

Funny thing is that CF looks the same in high or med or low. never notice a MAJOR difference hehehe

Yeah, the only difference you will see if you put the Textures Settings to Low, the screen will look a bit darker. Solve this problem put your gamma on "80".

That still depends on what os you use.
If you use windows xp your fps will be 3/4 of what you can reach in windows seven

and then you can still use gamebooster & tuneup turbo mode if you do that you will get like 320fps or some

omg, I cant choose

well, I'd go with i5, but its got rather decent gpu, but i3 one got rather good gpu.., but i3 is for laptops - -'...

I would get i5, sell the gpu and upgrade it

I think Intel are making a i9 - That would be like so quick Intel Quad Turbo Core 3.60 Boosted to 5.20Ghz that would be siick!

Retalia · August 2010

Go with AMD-.-' They can be cheaper and have benchmarks results within a decent range of the I7's(lower end). They can outbeat I5 and I3(the CPU did in some areas).

Go with the AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition(Actually...the 965). It can be $30-$40 cheaper than the I5. The CPU can provide more frames than some of the Intel Cores(along with a decent GPU)..unless you are a content creationalist. Then I would suggest the I5.

One difference between the two is the clock speed. Phenom II X4 has a higher clock speed than I3, or I5(in gigahertz). This means the Phenom can be faster than the two Intel's if you can provide decent cooling. I would suggest at least 3 fans.

When it comes to video cards..I would go with a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5830. Note...the brand is Sapphire. It goes for $200 for high performance.

Hopefully this helps.

Remember to lookup the benchmarks for your CPU to find out which is best!
