You can't ask a question like that without telling us what your aiming to play.

Crossfire only, or more cpu intense games like crysis and the like?

fr0dsSister · October 2011

if i want to play crysis im going to drop at least 800, cf, source engines, cod4, LoL.

cod 4 would take a bit more than that. Bad coding...
AMD or Intel?

So you know, I'm not very savy of actual tech for computers, I just know the basics of the basics, I'm lucky I built my cpu without it exploding. >.>

If you're looking for games that are graphically intensive, you'll want a quad core cpu, a 1gig video card, 4 gigs of ram, a mobo that can support your choice of processor, and then a good case with a decent cooling system.

The harddrive varies based off your needs, if your not a big downloader of games and such, you'll get by with cheap hardrives 500gb's or lower.

Power supply comes into play based off the overall voltage that results from everything above.

Amd, i have to drop at least 600 for intel which will get me an i5 2500k. but i don't want to spend that much,

this cpu seems to be pretty good for the price

Sadly enough, it's specialized for servers.
I suggest this one.

I am guessing gaming is your priority? The dual core i3 2100 beats quad core AMDs, so yea. AMD sucks to be honest. Just get everything that I listed from microcenter and instead of the GTX 550ti get the GTX 460. You should be under $500.

They should get some more soon. So wait a bit if you want to save some money.

Wise choice sir/madam. In today's world, you can build a pretty good gaming PC that will blow out any $1k laptop easily. And since taking notes is your biggest priority for a laptop, any i3 machine should do your job just fine.

AMD was meant for the best bang for your buck. Intel is honestly expensive for the best; they are the most flexible to work with, instead of just sticking with radeon HDs.

Radeons are GPUs not CPUs.
