Umm , which is better ? Xeon or i7

sheag123 · Nov 9, 2013

this xeon is based on the same architecture as the i7, so they are similar but the xeon is clocked 100mhz slower. answer is the i7 but it costs $60+ more

Elvis N YoonA · Nov 9, 2013

sheag123 :

hmm , i am low on fund cause in my country i5 was $210 and i7 is $300 which is not much difference in US but in my country it is about 300 hundred differences (RM700 and RM1000)

Is i5 okay for gaming? or should i really spend it on i7?

sheag123 · Nov 10, 2013

no i5 is great for gaming. the xeon was a stretch goal if you will haha.

4570 or 4570k you will be fine.

sora · Nov 10, 2013

sheag123 :

this, i7 isn't really needed as most games don't use hyperthreading

Elvis N YoonA · Nov 10, 2013

Should i get ASUS H87M-E SOCKET 1150 MOTHERBOARD? I am scare that i might not go well with Windows 8.1 though

sheag123 · Nov 10, 2013

that is a good motherboard

Elvis N YoonA · Nov 10, 2013

sheag123 :

oh , will every game work on windows 8.1? but i scare i can't accept the metro tho

sheag123 · Nov 11, 2013

you can set up windows 8 to be like windows 7 but you still get the efficiency advantages of 8.

Elvis N YoonA · Nov 11, 2013

sheag123 :
