PC #1 is better


I like the pc1 aswell but its the hd 5970 on second pc which is pulling me, looking at benchmarks i7 920 only gives about 10-15 fps boost max compared to amd's 965 where as 5970 is nearly twice as powerfull compared to 5870 so about 40-50 fps boost at simular price margin:)

What size monitor? The 5970 will only matter if you have a screen large enough for it to matter. If you have a single 1680x1050 monitor I'd go with computer #1 as the CPU is much better. The CPU does matter in gaming.

1x 23in ( HP 2310i 23" hd moniter) planing on buying 2 more soon for eyefinity.

yes i know cpu does matter but 5970 looks pretty good even without eyefinity. benchmarks videos i seen it always get 40-70fps more then 5870. Plus i think 5970 will be more future proof then 5870.


i just want a pc which is future proof(should be able to play all new titles maxed for coming 2 years)
