I like your setup there, its well balanced, however, I wouldn't get a 5770, a 5830 is much better. Or you can even get the better GTX 460, its better than both of them! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121367

I say Phenom II x6 1055

Whats your budget for the PC?
I dont know much about watercooling but I would stick with air just in case, better safe than sorry... then again I dont know much abaout watercooling

tnx all.. but why not 5770? im planning a crossfire set up in the near future and my mobo is i think made for crossfire setup and also my psu?

and here in italy 5830 is very expensive, its around 90 euros more than 5770 and im thinking crossfire setup give more power that single gfx? correct me pls..

btw my budgets is around 1k euros

Because the 5770 is old card with limited capabilities. With that cpu, you would definitely have a bottleneck with your graphics card. 2 5770's would lose to a single 5830 or a Gtx 460.

 

[darkhunter]

ah nice, tnx for the info... im going to think of it, and balance my budget for it.. btw is my setup alright? specialy my psu is it ready for the crossfire setup or mybe chnging it for an sli ready psu?

 

[Computerrock1]

Yeah, everything is fine, if you want more towards your gpu, I really do suggest a GTx 460, expecially if you want to. They are the best at scaling in todays market (most efficient at SLI/Crossfire). I would change it to the AMD 965: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727&cm_re=AMD-_-19-103-727-_-Product
Which will give 20 or more dollars towards a gpu. The x4 has a higher clock and can be reasonable overclocked. Unfortunately most games have yet to utilize 6 cores, so for now the 4 core is a better choice.

 

[jefe323]

the gtx 460 is probably the best mid-range gpu on the market at the moment, i would highly suggest you go that way

 

[darkhunter]

im considering it to, but i want a cpu that last for at least 2 to 3 years, that is why im planning for x6 amd, and oc it at 3.4 ghz to get the clock speed of 965 or maybe higher once i get a better cooler.. is it correct.. actualy im thinking a pc to be use in 2 to 3 years.. tnx alot for the comment

 

[darkhunter]

but is the gtx 460 compatible in to my mobo? or for sli setup in future?

 

[Computerrock1]

From what I understand, if it has two PCI express slots, which it does, your good to go with SLi

 

[darkhunter]

ah but in the technical guide says only crossfire ready not sli ready? not like other high end mobo like rampage or crosshair from asus mobos?

 

[Lamiel]

For AMD socket motherboards, only those with an Nvidia chipset can support SLI. Something like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636 - the motherboard you're considering now would only support Crossfire. If graphics performance is your primary concern, I'd recommend switching to an SLI-ready motherboard and getting the GTX460's. However, if you absolutely must have USB 3.0 support, you're better off sticking with your current selection.

 

[darkhunter]

yah actualy im using it for a future ready mobo.. sata 6 and usb3, but if im using ati gfx for the future upgrading, what can u give me in a 150 to 200 price?

That has to be the most asinine thing I have ever read.

Two 5770's in crossfire beat a 5850 the majority of the time and sometimes even challenge a 5870.

DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT get a 5830, its huge, hot, and power hungry.

On the other hand a 5770 is a great card that is very cool, small, and efficient, plus it scales great in crossfire.

Don't let this fool put lies into your head.

^ What's up with the name calling, you could simply say what you have to say without making yourself sound like a jerk...

 

[amk09]

Calling someone a fool is far from being a jerk, but if you are that sensitive then that's your own problem.

You said "2 5770's would lose to a single 5830 or a Gtx 460."

That is a complete lie and only a fool would say that.

people make mistakes...don't need to jump to name calling

but you are right, 2 5770s beat a single 5830 and a 5850, often going toe to toe with a 5870

 

[darkhunter]

hey guy, tnx for the last comment, that is also the one im thinking and searching till last night, tnx guys, btw is my psu can handle this crossfire configuration? pls tell me if not some other brand or hardware can i use, tnx a lot

 

[jefe323]

if you are using 2 5770s, your psu should be fine
