Hello all,
I'm working on putting together a new build and I've come across a decision that I would like some advice on.
My budget for this build allows for either a combination of Phenom II 955 and a gtx 560 Ti or an core i5 2500k with a gtx 560. It will primarily be a gaming computer and I'll be using a 1920 x 1080 monitor. I plan on overclocking either processor and the gpu, and for the amd build I will have an am3+ motherboard to support future processors. Also, no plans for sli what so ever.
I know in general the better graphics card will yield better gaming performance, but is the "Ti" worth the sacrifice of a better processor? Or in another question; is the difference in processors justified by the difference in graphics cards?
Thanks in advance.
