Gaming Rig GW2

[timoftw]

Hey guys!

I was searching on google for some trusted site's that sell pre-builded computers.
And i found a very nice cheap computer

What do you think about it?

CPU : AMD FX-4100 QUAD CORE X4 4 x 3.6Ghz

GPU : RADEON 6850

PSU : 750 watt

RAM : 8GB CORSAIR

Motherboard : Asrock 970 Extreme3

And windows 7 included a 500gb hdd, and the case etc.

It cost 635 euro's.
Is it a nice gaming pc to max out world of warcraft and play Guild wars 2 on high settings?
Thanks guys!

I know that the intel cpu's are better, but amd is cheaper

For 700 euros i would build

intel i3 2120
Asrock z68 pro3 gen3
corsair vengence 1600mhz ram
Sapphire radeon hd 7850
Antec 500w earthwatt 80+ psu
wd carvier blue 500gb hdd
corsair carbide 400r case

Need windows 7 within it aswell, and why shouldnt i biy that rig?

 

[serialkiller]

I think you could get windows 7 hp in that too.

I3 2100 is faster than fx 8100 and fx 4100 @ 4.5 ghz. also it is faster than any amd cpu for lesser price and eats less power.

 

[proskillr]

I would get the 4170 because while the i3 will have a little edge gaming wise the 4170 will perform on everything not gaming.

 

[serialkiller]

Thats not true

 

[timoftw]

I definetly only nees a gw2 rig.

And that pc that i showed can max it out.
Is it worth getting it

 

[serialkiller]

Yes i3 is worth getting and you can upgrade to i5 whenever you want.

Also ive bridhe is gonna release.

Amd is gonna remove an update in 2015.

 

[timoftw]

So the i3 over that amd?

 

[serialkiller]

Yes definately

 

[timoftw]

Ok thanks, then ill probally go with:

i3 2100 or i3 2120
6850
8gb ram


Is ghe.2120 betted then the 2100 while gaming?

According to passmark the fx 4170 scored a 4705 while intel i3 2120 scored 4198 which is consistent with most findings, the 4170 is better at non gaming tasks especially since its quad core. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
Also if you look at the Tom's gaming cpu heirarchy http://m.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html the 2120 is only 1 spot ahead of the 4170 and one spot means a small performance edge, and combine that with the fact that the 4170 is better at non gaming tasks the 4170 is the WINNER!

 

[timoftw]

Yes but i need a cpu that is used for games haha

 

[serialkiller]

Plaese guys he is gonna game. i3 is a clear winner in games

 

[timoftw]

Ok thanks serialkiller,

I probally gonna buy a :

i3 2100
8gb ram
6870 gpu

Thanks in advance !

Do not use Passmark for benchies! It's not accurate at all. Read up some benchies from reputable tech sites such as Tomshardware, Anandtech, TechPowerUp and others. Gaming wise, i3>FX processors.
