[QUOTE="chinesepanda"]wow lol i might get the 955 instead, its $50 cheaper than the 965 and only loses .2 ghz per core, totaling .8 ghz >.>neatfeatguy
You're not one of those people that adds the speeds of all the cores together and thinks that their CPU runs super fast, are you? A quad core CPU has 4 cores, the all operate at the same speed, but you don't add their speed together. IE: Phenom II x4 940 Stock speed is 3.0GHz. Each core runs at 3.0GHz, the total speed of your CPU is 3.0GHz (you do not add the 4 core speeds together and come up with 12GHz). I'm an absolute noob T-T
same motherboard for both. i would get the msi 790fx =p

do you think you could tell me why that over the asus? i've read alot of those reviews about the bios errors and what not >. oh, sounds misleading i mean the asus has alot of bios errors
thanks, i noticed that while browsing newegg lol but for the 955 and the 965, which would you recommend? would the motherboards be more expensive for the 965 too?
Well I have a budget of around $800, give or take a few hundred, and I want to build myself a new computer. The main things I'll be using this computer for are -games (i'm going to be playing Aion so I want the comp to be able to run it like a dream) -watching videos at 1080p resolution (or in the future, something higher) -video encoding (I encode and translate anime for a few fansubbing groups) I am planning on purchasing an i7-920 for the CPU. I am planning to purchase Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported for my video card BUT if there are cheaper video cards that perform just as well or maybe two video cards that, when crossfired, perform just as well if not better for about the same price. I am completely lost though when it comes to what type of motherboard, power supply, HDD and wi-fi card though. Please help me out, thanks. I'm planning to try and find these on newegg's combo deals
