get this

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

might change the case to the sn1992 suggested which would enable me then to get the cool master hyper 212 evo

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 2, 2013

Dont opt for a haswell over ivy
Reasons
1. Only 5-10% marginal increase in haswell from ivy
2.haswell produces more heat than 6 core sandy bridge e processors so ivy cpu would b better overclocker
3.there is no news that the 1150 socket would support further generation processors

I hope thats what u would all need to know

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 2, 2013

U r wrong haswell produces much more heat

And there is no cnfirmation that the haswell 1150 would be continued to use as most probably broadwell brings ddr4

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

Haswell is the newer genration and i intend to have this pc for a few years and by then ivy/sandy will be outdated but is AMD any good for gaming

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 2, 2013

Amd lacks behind intel when it comes to o.c.able i5

Even a sandy i5 is good at gaming till date
I wud suggest a ivy cpu as spending on haswell is not very great perfrmance upgrade

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

was just wondering if amd was any good and two i am not bent on amd its the first time i mentioned it

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

i will go with intel but you must be thinking of a diffrent thread as i did not choose a single amd processor

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 2, 2013

Dont go for amd its nothing just good for a low budget pcs
Bad single core perfrmance
So better go with a intel cpu

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

would you recommend me changing the gpu to a gtx 660 ti so i can get a i7-3370k

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

ok i will get the ivy 3570k thanks for the advice you two

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 2, 2013

Dont go fr i7 u ll not get perfrmance more than the above builts a 660ti is an old card

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

no can i choose two best answers

Guardianofterra · Aug 2, 2013

avil yours helped the most but if i could sn1992 you would get one as well
