my current com is dying on me and i'm getting a new set. budget about 1k. not a hardcore gamer...
this is what i plan to get, hopefully its a well balanced set.
i5-660
asus p7p55d
xfx 4890
will just get 2x2gb ram
would like to hear some comments. many thanks.
cheers
I would rather you get the 750 instead. 4 physical cores rather than 2 physical, 2 logical cores. That's just my opinion though. The 660 is 32nm, which might suit you if you want power efficiency, and has AES-NI which helps in AES encryption. But other than that, nah.
Or you could go AMD, should you choose so.
how about a sapphire 5770 vapor-x instead of the 4890?
