Hello Everyone!
I'm looking to purchase a new 6th gen i7 computer system, but I'm so lost on what to choose. Below are a few of the models that I have been considering from newegg.ca (I'm in Canada). I'm very new to all of this so if anyone could really give me some advice I'd really appreciate it!
A few things before I list the models I'm considering:
I play online poker mainly, and some of the software I am using is so CPU intensive that it is completely bogging down my current system, which is:
AMD FX 8150 Eight Core 3.60
16GB DDR2 RAM
120GB SSD
I was told by a few people that an i7 PC would work 10x better.
Well furthermore, if I'm buying something new, I want to get something really good so that if I decide to start playing any of the new games out there, my system will be able to handle it without worry, and also would like some future proofing so this new PC I purchase can last awhile.
I also have a 4k monitor that I run and may add another one (possibly)
Now a few questions I have in regards to the computers I list below:
1) I can't seem to find out why the ABS Vortex(#2 listed below) and the ABS Dominator(#3) are listed at the same price, when the votex has double the memory, 1GB larger HDD and double the size of the SSD. Could someone please shed some light on this?
2) The Cyberpower listed at #4 below has a GeForce 970 4GB video card. Is that a big downgrade from the 980 Ti 6GBB cards?
Also, is there any benefit purchasing the Dell computer listed below. It has an additional $200 price tag in comparisson to the next 2 ABS brands listed below and I can't figure out why.
