Help for 1600x900 resolution cpu and gpu for gaming

[mcedward]

I have a 1600x900 monitor. I want a cpu and gpu that will give me the best performance in games in the resolution.. Thanks!! By the i way, maybe you can make it cheap, or i mean the best bang for the buck build in that resolution..

Gpu 650Ti boost

Cpu depends on ur budget and what is ur power supply brand and model

Im not sure about the cpu if i go dual core or quad core, could you give me some advice which to choose and why? And for the i think ill be getting the 450 or 500 watts cougar.. Is it ok if i buy the a cheap mobo considering im not going to OC?

Wat about the cheaper quad core from amd? is it good in or the core i 3 better?

 

[chromic]

if you go amd, id suggest dont go below fx-6300.

and for the gpu? depending on your budget 7790- 140$ 7850 - 160$ 7870 - 200$ 7870xt - 220$ 7950 - 280-320$ AMD has best price/performance at the moment

Get a gtx 650 ti boost and get either a phenom ii x4 965 or a core i3 3220 or save some money and get the 6300 or core i5 3350p

which is better the 6300 or core i5 3350p? in terms of performance, power cosumption, idle and load.. if i choose the core i3 will it bottleneck a lot the 650ti boost? I will be playing games like cryzis 3, league of legends and cabal online.. i want to enjoy the so called "eye candy"..

1. The i5 is better in performance and also has lower power consumption and lower temps. But the fx 6300 is unlocked.
2. The i3 3220 will definitely not bottleneck the 650 ti boost.
