my next rig will be a Nehalem or Westmore |
Huh? Traitor! You just wrote "btw, should i get a Phenom II or the Athlon 7750BE to upgrade my 4600+? Also should I spend the $80 for an AM2+ mopherboard with a DECENT FSB?" earlier in the thread.

there is a difference between upgrades and a whole new computer.
And I;m probably going to go with the Athlon since its cheaper... save for my next rig...
Core i7 965
SSD
15kRPM HDD
1.5 TB HDD
Nvidia GTX 950 times 2
Gigibyte motherboard (they are really damn good considering... they have good bios) or Asus board
Blu-ray Drive
Not directly interested to top end models, but such news is indirectly good news for mid range models too.

and how often does the PC get a 360 port? 90% of the 360's line up is PC to 360 ports. Unless you mean that horrid pot called GTA4 which needs a quad core to somewhat run ok. |
No, likely its the other way around, a lot of development starts on the 360 as its the perfect middle ground between the PS3 and the PC.
Tease.

Oh sorry. With "GTX 950" u actually mean GTX 295 rite?
You seem quite ambituous about your future PC HW. What graphic intensive games r u playing now, and which ones are you wetting your appetite with in anticipation of the rig with Core i7 + GTX?

ya... 295.... ya.... that one...
and no freaking idea... just want head room. I guess Crysis 3? lol
So why exactly would someone use a next generation SSD and a 15kRPM HDD? That would be extremely noisey. Thats also about 2-3k worth of hardware, and within 6 months someone could build the same machine for half the price.
Tease.

umm what?
An 64GB SSD is liike $140 plus a 2.5" tray is $35.... I think you need to check your priced, hard drives/SSD price should be under $450..... the rig in total shouldnt be over $2 if i play the price game.... and i did say I might wait for Westmare which is the 32nm Nehalems which will be cheaper and faster.
of course this could change if i use Phase change.... which is freaking expensive as hell.

Yes; the AM3 chips can also go in Socket AM2/AM2+ as well, so even new chips a year or two from now will still work in current boards. Nehalem, on the other hand... |
Phenom II cpu's will only work in AM3 and AM2+ boards for a limited time. (Only a few binned chips will work for about 2 quarters) after that they are switching everything to be AM3 only.
Not sure where you've been getting your info from ;)
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Why would you want a super fast SSD and a 15kRPM drive? Don't they do precisely the same job? They also scale extremely well in Raid 0 so you'd be better off striping them than to get one of both, the way I see it.
Also Nvidia has released a new high end single chip card within aprox 6 months of releasing a dual GPU card and in pretty much all cases so far you've been better off with the single chip.
7950Gx2 -> 8800GTX -> 9800GX2 -> GTX280 -> GTX 295 -> GTX3xx?
Tease.
