Hi Guys.
I am planning to buy a new rig this diwali. My budget is 1000$ +/- 100$ Please post your suggestions.
Below is some of my requirements.
1) I need a entire system with monitors, keyboard etc but without speakers and UPS.
2) I need a 22" monitor and min 500 GB of HD space and 4gb of ram.
3) The system should be upgradeable with minimum effort (after 2years) and should provide good performance for at least 2 years.
4) It should provide good gaming performance in a 22" monitor.
5) I don't need costly cabinets and coolers.
6) I am ready to sacrifice some performance for money.
Here are some of my suggestions and concerns.
AMD Phenom X4 9950
AMD 790GX
Transcend Ram 4GB
WD 640GB
HD4850
cabinet
Viewsonic 22"
keyboard + mouse
Cooler Master 500w SMPS
Reasons for choosing AMD Rig
1) Amd quad can be easily over clocked.
2) AM2+ socket is future proof unlike LGA775 of intel.
3) HD4850 works better with AMD mobo and processor (Is it so?)
4) Can save some money.
Questions
1) Does the integrated HD3300 and HD4850 can be put in hybrid Crossfire.
If yes how the performance will be.
2) How C2D and phenom match in gaming ( As far as i know there only some 5 to 10 fps difference as gaming depends on GPU and not CPU)
3) Do I have to go for intel rig instead of this?
4) And of course any other valuable suggestions please.
Thanks in Advance
