Hi, First post !! I'm buying a new PC and have narrowed down to two options. I'm after peoples opinions on should I spend a bit more to get a better set of components? Option1: Intel i3820 nVidea GTX680 Option2: Intel i3930k @ 3.9 nVidea GTX690 Standard across both systems: 16GB 1600 quad channel RAM 256 SSD Drive 1 TB SATA HHD Windows 7 Cost between option 1 and 2 is £375 Appreciate people thoughts Thanks
Seems stupid to pair an i3 with a gtx 680 ....as GB said what are you using it for, with those GPU's my first guess is gaming...
I present Option 3! x2 Asus GTX 670 Direct CU II in SLI Lower cost than a GTX 690 and more effective, just get a motherboard with decent spacing for SLI cooling!
Agree with the awesome Blogins But also, what are you cooling with and what OC do you want? Imo it would be silly to go LGA2011 and not go 6-core if you can afford it.
Option 4: Really depends if this is only for gaming or if you intend to do something more demanding that requires all that equipment but... A nice custom cooler 670 i5 3570k 8gb Ram A trip to Amsterdam
