Phenom II 810 or 945?

[josh7331]

Well making my new rig I'm stumped with which to get. I mean the 810 is about $30 cheaper, so I could go buy crysis at bestbuy when it comes. (only thing bestbuy is good for... ) Should I save the $30 or go with the 945? In the end which would i have to upgrade sooner? or is it so close it doesn't really matter... (excuse my noobie-ness I was more of an intel guy but this rig i'm going amd)

I would go with the 940, as it has a larger cache that will help alot. Right now i'm running a 955, so i'm not an expert on those 2.

Over a week ago you could have got the 945 at a tremendous savings (about $60 to $85 off) in a combo deal with various motherboards over at newegg.However check every week as I feel these combo deals will be back again.I would go with the 945 or even the 955 BE if it's on sale with a combo deal.
