Do you have a microcenter near you?

 

[ishboo6]

You can order an get the internet price, they will have it ready for you to pickup in 18 mins. the piix4 is the superior, followed by the phenom hexacore =]

 

[martinjr15]

Awww they have no phenom x4 in stock should i check the x6?

 

[ishboo6]

Yes. the x6 is 2nd best in terms of price/performance. the free mobo is AM3+ which is great news as you can upgrade to BD later onwards.

 

[martinjr15]

Ok cool cause it saysthey. Have 10+ in stock of the x6

 

[martinjr15]

By the way im pairing it with a gtx 460 will itbe good?

 

[martinjr15]

Do you have a microcenter near you?

Yes. I do.

 

[amuffin]

Yes.

Which Microcenter store are you looking at? Call them ahead of time or place a 18 min order.

 

[ishboo6]

yeah forsure. BF3 at 40-50 at high in 1080p (personal experience).

 

[martinjr15]

Im looking at the orange county / tustin one

And sounds great!

 

[amuffin]

Which GTX 460? 192Bit or 256Bit? Resolution?

 

[ishboo6]

Glad to help, mate.

 

[martinjr15]

Not sure . Ill be on a 20 inch led monitor

 

[martinjr15]

Which GTX 460? 192Bit 256Bit? Resolution?

Most likely the cheapest one i can findat microcenter or newegg

 

[ishboo6]

look it up. Download GPU-Z and find the bus width. if its 256bit youll be fine.

 

[martinjr15]

I dont have the card yet , as im going to buy one today . So look for 256 bit? If its not available is 192 ok?

 

[ishboo6]

I have never bough GFX cards from MicroCenter because they are unreasonable expensive there. newegg is the way to go imho. I only see the 192 bit on newegg. i would recomend the HD 6850 or 6870. similar price ~20-30$. but thats just my opinion. 256 shows its colors during high res gaming.

 

[martinjr15]

So 192 is bad?

 

[ishboo6]

yes its much slower. google benchmarks.

 

[amuffin]

$130 256 Bit GTX 460.
