I dont know to what extent it uses a processor but quite a bit i'd guess. Concerning the GPU i guess the HD6970 should do the trick (anyways ... not a lot of better ones out there it seems^^) Edit : By surfing a bit more i found this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.675226 It seems it's only missing a GPU and a cooler, i guess it would be a much better build ? | ||

Intel Core i7-2600K Processor With MSI GeForce GTX580 1536 MB DDR5 TWIN FROZR II/OC Is getting the 2600k worth it for gaming+streaming? If not will the 580 be good with the 2500k? Also how much ram will i need for streaming + high res and graphics gaming. Looking at 8-12 because now i am hitting a limit at 6. | ||

Shit PSU, slow HDD. It's definitely a barebones kit. Barebones kits=shit.

If you OC the 2500k, it will be fine. You don't really need the HyperThreading from the 2600k just to game and stream, and HT just loses you thermal headroom for OCing anyway. The 580 with the 2500k is sexy. 8GB is plenty for pretty much anyone who isn't doing huge graphics stuff. | ||

I don't see why anybody would need to OC over 4GHz. 70C-80C load is perfectly normal for Intel CPUs still isn't it? Bloomfields took 80C in stride at least. | ||

I don't see why anybody would need to OC over 4GHz. 70C-80C load is perfectly normal for Intel CPUs still isn't it? Bloomfields took 80C in stride at least. 70C under load is reasonable. My 930 is hovering around there at 3.8 with a hyper212+. If I was using that shit thing that came with it that never made it out of the box, I'd be rather close to melty. I'd personally not want long term use on an OC that was hitting 80+ on the cores. And I don't see why you'd only OC to 4GHz on a 2600k. If you wanted something that low, you could hit 3.8 I believe on a 2600 non-k. | ||

Then there really is no point in buying the i7 2600k or i5 2500k? Both CPUs will give you more than enough CPU power in their lifespan, and anybody OCing is generally going to have a shorter upgrade cycle anyways. | ||

You're the one saying not to bother going over 4Ghz, not me. And "enough" isn't always enough. | ||

Memory speed matters again! Interesting read on Llano at least. It looks like it will be the best budget gaming platform choice. | ||

With a decent cooling design the 560 ti won't be breaking your ears in even when OCed | ||

Both CPUs will give you more than enough CPU power in their lifespan, and anybody OCing is generally going to have a shorter upgrade cycle anyways. That's my take on the i5 2500k and i7 2600k as well. They're so overwhelmingly powerful that unless you're getting a P67/Z68 board in the process for the features they come with, I personally don't think its really worth the price of a higher end motherboard, $20 CPU unlocking cost, and a $30 CPU cooler. All the upgrade will do is slow down the upgrade period. I don't really bother with overclocking anymore, turbo boost is getting so aggressive these days (4Ghz turbo boosts what the hell) that its removing the purpose of low level overclocking and I'd much rather assured stability than a few FPS increase.

It looks like it will be the best budget gaming platform choice. Memory speed matters on Llano because its got an IGP that is worth a damn; it doesn't matter for Sandy Bridge because even the HD3000 is useless for gaming. It isn't using its own dedicated GDDR5 like dGPUs are so memory speeds will matter in these situations. Until motherboard prices come down significantly (I'm talking $50-$70 level like H61, AM2+, AM3 motherboards), I'm not seeing how its better than an Athlon II + low end dGPU. Overclocking memory isn't particularly consistent and overclocking the actual processor requires more expensive motherboards and a proper CPU cooler - with that cost, you might as well just get an i3-2100 with a rock bottom H61 motherboard and a low end GPU. | ||
