Oh! Mind if I pop in here and ask a question? I was thinking of getting a new PC and I was going to go with these:

1) Studio Phenom II X6 1075T (3.0GHz)

2) ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB GDDR5

3) 8GB DDR3 SDRAM,1333MHz, 4x2GB

What do you guys think?

Got to love thread hijaking.

I assume this is for gaming...

1. Id go for AMD Phenom II 975 if you really must go with an AMD chip. This 6 core thing is not going to help you with games since most utilize 2-4 cores tops.

2. GPUs should be all about performance per dollar. If you find 5870 sub 200 dollars, go for it. If you find any of these GPUs sub 200, go for it i say...overclocked GTX560 Ti, 6950, 5870, GTX470 ($170 or less)...

3. Sure. But why not do 2X 4GB. Should be similar price

Hey I figured since it was just a simple question, I'd rather ask in here than make an unecessary thread for it. =)

Thanks for your reply!
