The Computer Megathread

[Grodus]

I'd say processor. The first gen Phenoms are extremely weak.
I've already answered this, look for my reply.
Doesn't have two 6755's, that's just the power of both integrated and dedicated graphics chips put together in an APU environment.

How does this build sound:

500$ computer build in OP, but with 600$ case


Is it compatible?
How good would it be for gaming?

all the builds in the OP need to be updated, most of the items are deactivated

Yeah, I'm getting round to it, it's quite a time consuming task and I'm busy with my study.

If you need help updating them, I've got plenty of free time.

You would need to upgrade your motherboard if you want to do that. You can't really buy any processors anymore for an AM2+ socket. They are nearly all deactivated.

Any AM3 processor will work just fine on a AM2+ socket.
Get something like a Phenom X4 960 or something. Not sure of the price but it's less than that I believe.

Right. My mistake, had to look that one up for myself xD. I'm used to talking about Intel sockets. Didn't know that AMD sockets were based upon memory usage.

Yea get this if you want to save a couple bucks.

Get this if you are willing to go strait to the price point.

I didn't realize how cheap Phenom II's have gotton

Intel is better but AMD is a huge ass bang for it's buck.
