I don't know anything about computers.

I just bought whatever could play sc2 at 60fps.

misleading title

dont worry about salvaging any parts from your old comp..

430 is a good card if you wanna go cheap and effective. but dont expect anything special.

edit: i would step it up to amd phenom x6 since intel would be outa your price range and its not much more than what you have listed
everything else works fine

Any 500+ built can have Intel. And y are you suggesting a thubanthey are junk for gaing, a Phenom would be better

intels are expensive
he wants to play sc2

phenom x6 would be fine and much cheaper + 430 is ok but if he saves money on amd he should put it towards a higher end card
i know your a bit of an intel fan boy sean but thats ok

and i didnt read that his price range is 500-750
i assume it was about 500 from his build

Fan boy? I've owned 3 amd processors in the past 3 years. I'm not exactly sure y u are calling my a fan boy. Intell is 70 percent faster for 20 more dollars

lol thats so not true brooski

and you are your always like INTEL >
and im like AMD GOOD
and then you say INTEL >
then i say AMD STILL GOOD
and then you say AMD SUCKS
then i say AMD DOES NOT

etc...

go ahead compare ANY intel vs amd and let me know which you think is better, here is the SLOWEST core series vs the FASTEST x6

dont derp me ryan

how bout we do it this way
to be relative to this topic

he is paying 130

he could pay $200 for AMD FX-8150
or he could pay $1000 for Intel Core i7 3960X

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/434?vs=443

now he said its for mainly for GAMING AND BASIC OFFICE WORK


far from 70% and far from $20
i bet you for his case and for his price range amd is by FAR the better choice.
