So I was looking at the following GPU & CPU combos:
HD 7850 ($170 w/MIR): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004
&
Phenom II x4 965 BE ($99): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727
TOTAL: $270
or...
GTX 650 ti ($140 w/MIR): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130838
&
i3-3220 ($130): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116775
Total: $270
The thing with getting the GTX 650 ti and i3 is that I have a CM Elite 360 chassis that it will fit into, but it's too small for a 7850. If I get the 7850, I will have to buy a new chassis. I also worry that and i3 will not perform as well as the Phenom in video editing, as that is also something I do. Thanks for reading!
