2500K http://ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=606549&CategoryID=235 2600K http://ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=606550&CategoryID=235 or 2700K http://ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemID=608204&CategoryID=235 and if possible, what kind of graphics card would work the best with the best one here. I'll be mostly using the computer for gaming and a bit of video editing work. Thanks in advance,  | ||

Hyper Threading is not worth an extra $100 in most people's eyes. | ||

These should easily fall within budget with the rest of the build. so you reckon paying extra $134 for a 2700K from a 2500K isnt worth it? Just slightly uninformed about how big of a gap in performance it is between them two. | ||

The Mushkin Enhanced was rated higher than crucial m4 so I kinda doubt you guys. http://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/high_end_drives.html. I only got one question is this PassMark Software site a whole lie like even the cpu and gpu information too? It cause I base all my information on this site. Can you guys tell me if it a lie or not. Thanks again I guess im goin with Capstone 550 and Cruical m4 thanks again please also answer the question There's like a billion things wrong with Passmark, it's one of the worse available benchmarks yet so many people still use such shit to make purchase decisions. How the hell is a Corsair Force near the top.... wtf? And you don't understand the benchmark either. I don't see the Mushkin Callisto Deluxe at $140 beating a Crucial M4. The Mushkin is rated at 1639 while the Crucial is at 2074.... The Mushkin at the top is a Chrono Deluxe. If you want to spend $200 on a high-end SSD, you might as well just get an Intel 520 which has exclusive firmware and a five year warranty. Like, why even consider the other Sandforce SSDs?

There are indications that Ivy Bridge won't be out until june (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/c3c3c2b6-602f-11e1-8de4-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1nZUj8n4G), which is still quite a wait. With the performance differences being relatively minimal, I would probably just go for Sandy Bridge myself. With computers there's always the next best thing for one of the components coming out very soon, so you'll never actually get to build one if you keep waiting on these things. I heard it'll be out by the end of next month. I'm not sure if the performance difference will be minimal, but since I intend to use the computer for 3-4 years, is it a wise idea to wait for the next gen processor Look at preview and decide for yourself: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5626/ | ||

Best-case scenario it's about 25% on certain operations, but for most tasks in general you should expect closer to 0%. i7-2600k and i7-2700k are the same except the latter by default coming at 100MHz higher and maybe overclocking very slightly better on average. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-2600k-990x_9.html#sect2 http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-2600k-990x_11.html#sect0 | ||

Nope.jpg The guaranteed clock rate is not worth the cost. For that money you might as well get the Intel overclock insurance for $20 and OC harder on the 2500k. It takes 2d applications like rendering and streaming to get any performance off of that money. | ||

What is your resolution? I will be using 2 monitors, the primary is 1920x1080 What are you using it for? I will be using it mainly for StarCraft 2 and hd (1080p) streaming with web cam and mic. I am looking for a pc that can handle even tough (like team games) situations with the graphics maxed. What is your upgrade cycle? I have a relatively slow upgrade cycle, not quite sure as of right now but i would like to keep it running a couple of years and with upgrades along the way (Ram, SLI, OC) When do you plan on building it? I plan on ordering and building it in April Do you plan on overclocking? Yes, but not that much (have never done it before, advice needed) Do you need an Operating System? I am going to get MW 7 Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? No but I will upgrade when needed (if i have understood my mobo can hold 2 graphics cards) Where are you buying your parts from? PixMania.com, If any one has better sites that ship to Denmark please let me know. This site seems cheap and has decent reviews Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! | ||

You can select a prelayouted out machine right away or customize the parts to your liking. I live in the US (East Coast), and they have nice shipping rates and doesn't take long to ship. If you're not a computer building kind of guy they can also put it all together for you. http://www.magicmicro.com/ Do you happen to work for them, or know someone who does? Those builds are terrible. $800 for an i5 2300, 8GB RAM, and a 6870 with a 500GB HDD. I'd put them at slightly better than cyberpower, but still horrendous. | ||

Still the idea of someone running around with a 2600k and an nVidia 210 blows my mind. http://www.magicmicro.com/smoreinfo.asp?iid=4245 "Gamer" ಠ_ಠ | ||

edit: maybe in some twisted way we can conclude that the value of the default Logisys is negative, which sounds about right.  | ||
