[...] You call that huge? Not even the same clock speeds...i5 760 would get higher with higher clock speed. Not huuuuuuge difference.. But as the others say, go i5 not worth the money to go for i7. i5 are often better in games than i7.

The difference isn't huge, but it's worth waiting a couple of weeks for when you're essentially paying the same amount of money. Quoted from JackieBoy

Why? AMD motherboards are like £40+ cheaper, plus the CPUs are a bit cheaper too.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14966&post=260010 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 02:45:45 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14966/page-2/?recent=260407#post=259978 Quoted from JackieBoy

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please don't buy the PC yet! Wait for the Intel Sandy Bridge chipset coming out in January. Prices will cost the same, but Sandy Bridge offers a huge performance boost over socket 1156 & 1366. http://www.semiaccurate.com/static/uploads/2010/11_november/sandy_bridge_pricing.png And check out this benchmark: http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/sandybridgepreview_082710002107/24411.png The i5-2400 ($184) almost beats an i7 980X Extreme (almost $1000, granted it would do better at rendering and stuff). The 2400 doesn't even have Turbo enabled during that benchmark! I also agree that if you're only going to be gaming, I would just save yourself the money and go for the i5.

You call that huge? Not even the same clock speeds...i5 760 would get higher with higher clock speed. Not huuuuuuge difference..

[...] Are you building a rig for gaming only ? If so, dont buy a i7 based machine, you are wasting money. Get i5 system instead. Say i5-760, overclock it a bit, and you have much more horsepower for tf2 (and other games) and you save a lot of money. In general i5 *lynnfield* cpu's are better for games then i7. One good cooler is Cooler Master Hyper 212+, which is also very cheap.

Can only second that, did it the same way :))]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14966&post=259955 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 21:23:46 +0100
