Computer Processor+Video Card question
I have to buy a prebuilt because my dad doesn't let me build a custom.
so i have the choice of
AMD Phenom™ II X6 1075T + ATI Radeon HD 4200 (1GB i think? can someone confirm)
or
AMD Phenom™ II X6 1045T + ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB
For the same price of both, which combo should i choose?

Overclocking is good, but it has it's risks. If you get 80+ FPS out of it without OC'ing, don't OC it.
i hope i can get 80+ FPS on this thing. really needed a new desktop. The one i have ATM is a freaking Dell 2400 Dimension, 7 years old. older than most Brazilians in the game -

my 8 year old desk top, just got 1gb ram and a pci 1 graphics card today, averaging 40 fps. that thing will definatly get over 80
anything over 60 you wont notice though, because of v sync -

ty for the opinions i'm not ganna bother with this dell dimensions thing. can't fit more than 2 GB ram. even if it can, i have to get all of the freaking dust bunnies out of tower. -
The 5450 is a better card for sure; the 4200 is slow as molasses, heck, that card is SLOWER than a five year old X1900XT !! TBH, both cards sort of suck; pairing a (3?) core CPU with cards that slow is enough to make them sue for torture.
Kinda sucks that you can't build a custom system. Best way to learn how to get good and indepedent with building your own systems is to start young and fast. -

quote for truth. i dunno what kinda games he wants to play though, how many monitors and such.... -
i got i7 950 6 gb ram
gtx 460 1 gb..

Obviously the Second one.
Losing a few mhz won't kill you but driect X11 will change much.
This game only uses directx9, so it doesnt matter
Btw it just 'supports' dx11 and actually it CANT handle any game that has dx11 ( not mention the 5770 is not good at this too ) -
if u want some decent price n reliable gaming set up.. .
i prefer Intel & nvidia . . .
get an I5 dual CPU 3x or 4 x GBs of DDR Ram n a gtx460 or higher graphic card.
get Windows xp 32 bit sp3 instead of windows 7...
believed or not . u will get 120+ FPS at 8 vs 8... price will be around $600 or a little more..
AMD can't perform just what Intel could.. -
Definitely the first one.
I didn't rate the 5450 AT ALL, a pretty basic GPU. Don't OC the processor though, if this is a stock build, chances are it's built to handle specific heat, no point burning out that CPU for nothing, especially when it doesn't need it.
You could always upgrade that 4200 series for not too much, it's not great, but it'd handle anything out there right now, so no rush.
