might want to check out some ASUS computers they're 10x better and about the same price

Nobody asked for your wrong opinion.

@Topic
It is the best AMD built you can get and battlefield 3 is the only game I know yet that profits from 6 cores. I don't like it though cause it is inefficient and Intel CPUs for the same price are noticeable faster.

For the GPU see here:

700$ for that rig is okay, not reallly good but I think you had to build it yourself to lower the price.

I wonder if this GPU runs Battlefield 3 at all oO I highly doubt that.

It's not the best AMD build you can get, I've seen Bulldozer eight-core rigs for cheaper than that.

Many games already utilize all 4 physical cores of any hex-core CPU, notably Crysis, GTA IV, and Homefront.


@OP, that build's far too overpriced, an i5 2500K will blow that 1100T out of the water. The GPU's average, only decent for PhysX enabled games.

It doesn't even list which motherboard you'd get so lord knows if there's even any room for future upgrades.

Are you ruling out the option of putting your own rig together?

He could sell the card on eBay, use the profit from that and the $100 he saved to get a 470/6870+ GPU.

That is what you would have to do if you chose Falloutt's:

Yeah, much better.

The 2500k is pretty much, pound for pound, the best CPU you can get right now.

However as I said before, you'd be much better off selling that 6670 on eBay, and buying another card of at least 470 or 6870 spec.

Your PSU could handle both, but it'd be better off with a 6870, which in my opinion, having owned both, is the better GPU any way.

If you're stuck between those, then get that one.

As for the others, they're disgustingly bad for that price, companies like that make me sick.
