wich is better for gaming and multitasking

gizmo13 · Jun 14, 2014

xeon 1230v3 , 4670 or 4770 for gaming and multitasking???

i7Baby · Jun 14, 2014

i7 is better than the 4670.

i7 if you think it could be handy to have integrated graphics.

Else the Xeon.

verdenshersker · Jun 14, 2014

4770 hands down...

i7Baby · Jun 14, 2014

Lot of guys here prefer the Xeon over the 4770 because of costs.

verdenshersker · Jun 14, 2014

That is true, but budget was not in the consideration - it was just what was best

Even for games I would say an OC'ed i5 would do great for the price

gizmo13 · Jun 14, 2014

yea im in the 1k budget

verdenshersker · Jun 14, 2014

For the whole computer, I believe?

Then what are the other specs?

Looks pretty good overall and you would love it a lot

i7Baby · Jun 14, 2014

Looks OK.

gizmo13 · Jun 14, 2014

all I need is the cpu cooler because I may overclock

i7Baby · Jun 14, 2014

You can't - none of those are overclocking cpus and you don't have an overclocking motherboard.

verdenshersker · Jun 14, 2014

Cooler Master 210 Plus or Evo are good for the price and used a lot. Else you can go with the closed watercooled systems....

verdenshersker · Jun 14, 2014

Wasn't it Asrock that started doing B85 mobo's that could actually OC?

i7Baby · Jun 14, 2014

No only Z mobos overclock eg Z77, Z87, Z97

gizmo13 · Jun 14, 2014

I also have this build but I don't know about this one http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Pew_Pew/saved/6ygzK8 :/

They call it the Hybrid Booster:

"A new overclocking technology concerning both performance and safety.

In order to provide advanced performance, the Hybrid Booster provides the CPU Multiplier, CPU Vcore voltage adjustment, CPU Frequency Stepless control, and AGP/PCI Frequency control features.

With the CPU Multiplier, power user could change the processor multiplier setting to get the best performance of CPU speed. The CPU Vcore adjustment helps to power up the CPU core voltage to support the CPU overdrive demand. The CPU Frequency Stepless control provides the CPU clock frequency upward/downward adjustment interface. The AGP/PCI Frequency control provides the interface of AGP/PCI frequency value setting.

However, to perform overclocking is at risk of hardware damage and boot failure. With two safety features, "ASRock U-COP" and "Boot Failure Guard", Hybrid Booster will minimize the risk of overclocking.

ASRock U-COP helps protect the CPU from overheating while the CPU frequency or core voltage is overdriven.

The Boot Failure Guard will automatically issue the safe boot up mode when improper overclocking settings result in system boot failure.

Under the double safety protections and with performance enhancement, Hybrid Booster is definitely a Safe Overclocking design for you."

That second build is a step down from Xeon/I7 performance and still with a 770.

Can you go i5 4690k and ASRock Z97 Extreme 4? With ram to suit and say a coolermaster hyper 212 evo cooler?

That's cool! Wow. So it only works for Intel -K series parts I assume?

gizmo13 · Jun 14, 2014

the secon build is not for me is for my sister and she really does not need much :S

gizmo13 :

Forget AMD, even for people that don't care. Even Sandy Bridge Intel i3's outperform the FX-8350 in overall gaming performance.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-processor-frame-rate-performance,3427-9.html

This will perform better and cost less. The GPU is cheaper, and will perform about on par with the mentioned GTX 770. If she 'doesn't need much,' why don't we downgrade to an R7 260X or GTX 750 instead? Are you cool with that?
