as a amd owner, i can 100% tell you intel is the way to go

2x 560 ti's aren't terrible

tho id get a 660ti over em

Depends on what you do, tbh, and what your budget is. I'm all about budget builds, and I have 1000000000000 processes running at once on my desktop, so the 8350 would be more useful than a 3570k, for me. The price also makes me smile (note, the mobos are also much cheaper).

2x 560ti would be expensive and pointless. You could get a 7970 for the same price.

Speaking of which, GTX 670 was $280 on Boxing Day. Too bad I'm poor and stuck with a 6870.

EDIT: I don't even know how to use my MacBook anymore. Wtf is this overpriced trash?

820, you really have to study up a lot more on what it is you want from what i can tell. If you're a gamer and a streamer, that just screams Custom built computer.

Laptops are not good, at all. The one single benefit of a laptop is mobility/size. That is it. The benefits of a Desktop far outway the negatives.

I agree with these guys, especially since I own a 3570k and my buddy owns the 8 core amd processor these guys have been talking about. Intel is better in general and should be bought with a $1000 build. As for graphics card anything around a 550 ti would do just fine.

i7 cpu, asus motherboard, any decent ram pickup in 6 gigs, ati graphics card, medium range powersupply, any hard drive for 1 tb (cheap), dvd drive, case, approximate value 1000 or less if bought properly.

So would that one be better than the MSI one I linked earlier?

6gigs ram is dead tri chan doesnt exist u never get medium powersupply with high end shit and thats not even helpful as no wattage is stated anyways


laptop u want atleast a 675m because laptop gpu's are about a third as powerfull


if you wana build

3570k idiot who said u need a 4ghz proc is an idiot you dont a i5 IB is fine even stock
7870/7950 going nvidia is idiotic with their bullshit green program now you basicly cannot over clock and the price/pref is godawfull
Msi gd 55 mobo
2x4gig Samsung eco ram ___ if you dono why this ram is best need to learn more bout pc's
Nzxt 210 Source case its roomy and shit and ofc its pref really
1tb hdd
120-128 g SSD vortex 4/intel 520/samsung 840
CD drive if u want
750w Powersupply made by - one of these Corsairs, seasonic, earmax, rosewill hive/Capstone branded psu's , Antec

Every powersupply works fine these days. You don't need a 100 dollar + one. And you can even squeak by with 600 watt if you dont plan on adding future gphx cards.

tell that to the 50 phone calls i get a day explaining how they have melted wires and i still find wood and hot glue in half the crap psu's i deal with on a daily bases rolfmao

I mean i still have made in china powersupplys from the nineties thst work just fine. User error. But obviously dont go for the twenty dollar ones.

I would recommend i7 cpu, any 6xx series nvidia card and 8gbs of ram if you gonna stream.
