gaming pc

[normski001]

im looking at building a gaming pc and was going for a E6600cpu but i have just read this is it corect

For those of you who intend to overclock, dont look at the hz difference since you will get both to the same value (e6600 will not go higher Hz wise than the e6300) just look at the cache. id say save yourself the £95 difference and buy a good motherboard (mb) or higher spec GPU or better/more/faster ram or a really nice raptor HD or even perhaps a very nice LCD screen!

The differences in the CPUs are 29% faster Hz and 2 meg more cache. Personally id suggests the e6300 for 98% of people, specially gamers and overclockers. the 6300 with its lower cache tends to overclock better (its got 2 meg less cache and can keep cooler at higher speeds)

If you play games mostly, the cache makes almost ZERO difference with current games. If you are into rendering, cad, compressing videos, writing your own (inefficient) programs then 4 megs might be a good advantage.

if so should i save my cash and just get the E6300 :?:

Yeah the cpu has a very small effect on gaming so it would be worth spending that money on a better graphics card

the 6300 with its lower cache tends to overclock better <~~ what jërk told u that? or where did u read it?

 

[halbhh]

It's good advice there you quoted. 8)

 

[bullaRh]

everyone knows the 6600 and up can go higher

the best gonna be x6800 those who doesnt past the x6800 test go e6700 those who doesnt past that test go E6600 and so on.. if ur lucky u can get ur 6300 up at 3400mhz if ur really lucky i would say.. and the E6600 up to 3.8 stable on air if its really good.

 

[bullaRh]

i would say a normal OC would get a 6300 at about 3200mhz but its also gonna cost a nice mobo. while a E6600 would get u 3700mhz with 4mb cache

im sorry but his a dúmbäss


use what ur budget allows u on ur system and nothing more.. 6300 is good and 6600 is better but buying a 6600 without clocking it is a waste .. that also goes for the 6300

You should. It is what I bought. The thing is said to be an amazing overclocker and I would rather save $350+ by overclocking it.

 

[normski001]

the thing im looking at is if i get a 6300 i can get 8800gtx
if i get a 6600 then i can only get a 880gts
so what is best for gaming

 

[halbhh]

The original quote is good advice simply because it doesn't matter much if you get a few hundred Hz higher clock, compared to say getting a faster hard drive, or a better monitor -- difrerences you'll notice in everyday use.

 

[yas]

For gaming, get the E6300 and the 8800gfx anyday

 

[bullaRh]

yes ofc the 6300 and the gtx but the e6600 is still a better processor than the 6300 :b

 

[bullaRh]

i think 600 or 700mhz matter much less bottleneck on gpu

and ur fückíng raptor plz stick it up cuz many dont even notice any difference and wooooow ½ sec faster in load times YES !! BUY THE RAPTOR ITS ½ SEC FASTER!. it doesnt even get u more fps! what a benefit for all that money i can see that :roll:

 

[NumenorLord]

For the price of a Raptor you can get like 5x the amount of storage space... even in a Raid set-up if that's your fancy.

 

[bullaRh]

yea well i dont care for raptor its 2 expensive and im fine with one 7200.10

my E6600 isnt gonna be on 24/7 as my other machine lmao.. so i dont need that much HD space its gonna be a pure gaming machine

 

[yas]

Yeah for the price of a Raptor you could get two 250gb 7200.10 HDD is raid0 and have like 5x more space for the same speed

 

[normski001]

im with bullaRh just for gamimg i will just have 2x 80 gig drives and chuck the rest at graphics cpu fast-mem and psu

 

[eagles453809]

wow, are you people really that naive about raptors? wow..here's a quick list:

1.) 1/2 the access time of even a higher-end 7200rpm drive (4ms vs. 8+ms) which equals out to quicker loading of maps, game data etc...you gamers should know thats a must, especially when your dropping 600 dollars on a fucking 8800GTX!

2.) Raptors run cooler than a larger 250+gb hdd. more space=more platters= more heat...you dont want a hotter hdd as your primary drive...get those big hdd's as storage drives.

3.) come on now people, when your spending 250+ for a cpu, 200+ for memory, 100+ for a psu, 300+ for a gfx card, 150+ for a mobo, 40+ for a cpu cooler and your complaining about spending 140 bucks on a hdd that has 1/2 the access time? come on think about that

 

[normski001]

well here is what im looking at so far but would like to get the price lower

this is around £1300

this is around £1100

what one is best for clocking and gaming i will mod the case on the second one for more cooling

BullaRH your picture is delicious and it makes me hungry.
