[wapak029]

A good day to all.. Guys i have a problem in deciding on which to buy? which is better? AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ BE or AMD Phenom 9500? and which PSU will I need to buy?

my current list:
Gigabyte GA-MA780GM-S2H
Corsair 2GB DDR2 800 Dual XMS
500gb SATA Western

thx in advance..

Depends on what you plan on using your computer for.

But whatever you plan on doing, I'd stay away from 9500 and get new Phenoms 9X50.

Yup...get phenom 9x50 if you are going for 3 or 4 core.
hmmm.....MA780GM? is that going to be a HTPC? if you gonna build a HTPC than X2 5000+ is already more than enough.

I built a system with all that except an X2 5400 Brisbane for the processor. It is a very low power system with surprising performance. I'd save money and get an X2 unless you really need >2 cores. What do you plan to use the computer for?

ext64 looks like x2 5000+ Black Edition goods enough for me.. i'm just planning to use it in some games, movie and picture editing.. ^^

games? onboard gpu? crysis??
're you sure?

 

[wapak029]

guanyu i'm not planning to play those high end games and you are forgetting if you put a 3450 gpu and enable its crossfire technology it's a good combo system already for a budget pc.. and the only game i'm planning to play is CABAL Online.. ^^

Should be enough with just the integrated, but be warned! It will only work in Win Vista

ya i know amdfangirl i have no problem with that i'll just tweak the OS so that it will not be so buggy.. thanks for the warning.. ^^
