Some A6s are really nice in price-performance though. I can see the price/performance, but more so for laptops than custom desktop systems where non-trivial parts can be updated and swapped over time, I consider the cost of the CPU (APU) relative to the entire system cost. For a laptop presumably as a primary machine where the intended use is heavy, I would definitely not err on the side of lower hardware. An A6 or A8 isn't going to be comfortable playing and streaming a game now. Certainly that's not going to improve in general for future titles. Most people are pretty satisfied streaming on like a Phenom II X4, if they don't expect better than 480p or so. A sub-2.0 GHz Athlon II X4 is a different matter. | ||

I have 2 x 4gb ripjaws memory in slots 1 and 3 on my p67a-c43. They're blocking me from putting my cooler master 212 hsf in, can i put these sticks in slots 2 and 4 without issue? i.e does a 2-stick set HAVE to be in 1 and 3 and if not will it still utilize dual channel in slots 2 and 4? | ||

I'm planning to get my graphics card off amazon, and am trying to decide between an HD 6870 and a 560 (non TI) http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Mini-HDMI-Graphics-01G-P3-1460-KR/dp/B0050I1PHO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3S64QNS70RTX7&colid=2PU3WVPO1R1W2 http://www.amazon.com/SAPPHIRE-Radeon-6870-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B005C8RTTU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2XQCE8ZBSXXPC&colid=2PU3WVPO1R1W2 what are the advantages between the two? People seem to be recommending the 6870 more. Is the 6870 the better card? Or just better as it is cheaper. Also, is it worth getting the superclocked version of the 560? Also, I was wondering if anyone knew the best motherboard to get from microcenter for a i5 2400 (Thats under 80 dollars) I also need to be able to fit it into my case (COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1) and a cooler master 212+(i got it originally as I planned to get a 2500k, but am probably going to end up getting a 2400). Along with a 2x4 GB of Ram Ripjaws. Thank you for any help you guys can give me | ||

You only get an EVGA Superclocked variant if it is less expensive than the regular variant. Any H61 or H67 motherboard is fine. | ||

I was only planning to run one monitor anyways so that isn't a big deal to me. It sounds like you are recommending the 6870 over the gtx 560? If that is the case, which brand would you recommend? I was thinking of getting the Sapphire, but it seems like they have some issues? Or do they all run about the same? Thanks again for any help | ||

Thus, the only difference is cooling, warranty, and some very VERY minor other differences that I won't get into. Generally speaking its always smart to get the cheapest one unless you know for a fact that a more expensive one has something you want or need. Sapphire is an ok manufacturer. | ||
