[QUOTE="EarnMyRespect"]EDIT: I will be using this PC to edit and design. I will be handling HD videos, so I take it that the triple channel memory will do me good?EarnMyRespect

Well since you are going to use the pc for multimedia purposes the i7 9xx series is a better choice for you. Yes is has tripple channel, Hyper threading. I've seen most people OC the 920 to 3.8GHz with an aftermarket cooler.

If you were building this pc just for gaming and the usual stuff the i5 750 would be best imo.

Keep in mind that the new core i9 (Gulftown) will cost around 1500$...LGA 1366 may be more futureproof because of the Gulftown but at that cost I bet few people will take advantage of it...and then sandy bridge (which will use an other socket than 1366 or 1156) will be out around a year after gulftown.

But yeah, because core i7 9xx uses HT, you should get this one since you'll be multitasking a lot

there you go buddy

this is if you're more into nvidia. If you prefer ATI I'll say something like that: keep all the pieces in the built I just made and replace the ram, mobo and GPU for those:

Prices are better on newegg.ca

Hi, I'm about to get a new monitor for my new PC which is a 1920X1080 native resolution and is supported by all the new games. But how's the gaming when it comes to old pc games...? Is it that bad ??

Thanks

-Medal of honor allied assault: breakthrough expansion

-GRAW 2

Not that bad, but these are the only 2 games I gave a 7/10 in my collection. Everything else I ownare 8/10 + IMO.

edit: forgot Dark Messiah (I gave a 7,5/10)

Nope the king will still be the GTX295 Mars in performance, just not in cost to performance ratio... It's $1600....RedxSniper

oh, never heard of that one...1600$ !!! WTF ..is it a double GPU/PhysX/Sound card/Harddrive ???

If I were you, I'd honestly just wait a month to buy your PC. Then it will come with Win 7 pre-installed. Do you really want to get a PC only to wipe the hard drive in a format to install Win 7 a mere month later? You'd have to reinstall everything you just installed. Just wait and get it with Win 7.zomglolcats

exactly

so the Ati Radeon HD 5870 will be out and will be the best graphics card out tomorrow. can some 1 clarifysamdougle1

Probably untill the 5870X2 and MAYBE untill the GT3XXX series from NVIDIA. But for tomorrow, there's good chances for the 5870 to be the king

What do you guys think about this monitor? It has HDMI and 1080p capability.
