AMD Phenom II x6

[Persheis]

Hello,
I need some help regarding a new build I'm planning.

I have the Phenom II x6 1100T BE in mind.
I need a cheap build around the motherboard and the memories. I already have a generic 750w Power Supply. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there , If you wanna Play games with that Pc then Go for Quad Cores , 6 Cores are Not as Fast as Quads , you will ask your Self they have 2 More cores that will help , NO , It wont It s Just Good For Multitasking but For Gaming ! Only Quad Core !

For Example I got Phenom 955 BE + MSI 790FX-GD70 its cheap build & it Gives me What I want , but I should Say that you need Aftermarket Cooler because its geting Loud & hot While Gaming !

Any Quad CPU does ! especialy AMD CPus !

MSI 790FX-GD70 is Great motherboard , it has Quad Way Crossfire at 8x8x8x8x or Dual Crossfire at maximum speed of 16x16x ! it Doesnt Have USB3 Or Sata 3 , but No matter because there is No USB 3 Or Sata3 Device ! you will be Great with this motherboard . you can add other Vga card in future .

Phenom 955 BE is better than what you choosed up there , it will beat it In Games ! you can go for phenom 965 BE or 970 BE , they just have Higher Clocks But no Huge Difference in game .

But away if you have more money then Put it For Cheap Sandybridge Platform , for example i5 2300 or i5 2400 is Much Faster & Great For Today games . But that doesnt Mean Phenom 955 BE is bad , its great too but i5 sandybridge is Just better ! Both will give you what you Need .

I suggest you pick 2x2Gb DDR3 1333Mhz ram . supertalent , Geil , Corsair & ... are great . dont Pay too much for Ram .

Your PSU is Great for Crossfire too ! its Nice one .

& for VGa card , go for ATi 6870 or Better , because ATi 6870 is Very Great but it Runs Crysis Warhead at 30-40 FPs ! & you Know Slower Card realy doesnt worth ! you can Grab 6950 for almost same price , 2Gb is Available too but NOt Too much difference , if you have money then 6970 will Rock ! i have 6870 & it runs all of my Games at 70 Fps except Crysis Warhead which is 30-40 Fps & GTA EFLC which is More than 40 ( its Playable & Great enough ) ! dont Worry ! 6870 is More than Enough for Today games ! but dotn foget 6950 & 6970 are available if you want more performance !

Hey, thank you very much for the answer.

I'm planning to use this setup for simulation on engineering programs and builds, so I wonder if a x4 would do the job.
I have a GeForce 9400GT left from my old PC, I may add it just in case.

I used to play games on my desktop computers, but college has arrived, and I don't have as much free time as needed ^^

So please tell me if the build jupiter21 suggested would be both inexpensive and great for this kind of job.

Thanks again.

i5 2500k.

Please give your exact budget and the components you need..

Please give your exact budget and the components you need..

Around 450-500 $us

I need CPU, motherboard and memories.
As I said before, I plan to use this computer in simulations (circuits, mechanical builds, pneumatic simulations, control systems).

On the other hand, I already have a GeForce 9400GT left from my old computer.

I would love it to be AMD, but I'm open to Intel ideas.

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

are you using autocad?or other design programs?

 

[Persheis]

I am.

I may also use Automation Studio and the likes.

That's a pretty good budget.. Are you using softwares like solidworks..?

I might have to use SolidWorks in a near future, so, yes.

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

i think you should go to the graphic sections.They know more than us about physics processing.

In that case, go for a LGA 1155 build.. The i5 2500k will be great as a CPU choice.. Read this -

The Asus P8P67 will be a very good choice for the motherboard.. Add in 8 gigs of some good quality ram and you'll have a excellent configuration for your needs..
