Novice Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 So an old friend desperately needed a new PC, actually called me around 11PM told me "I will pick it up in the morning" made me an awesome offer I could not resist so I sold my old PC last week. Used the same money to buy this new PC, still need to get a Dedicated Video card but the on the board works just as fine if not better for now than my old one. Also I am not really liking this new keyboard, might go back to my old one will give it a few more days and see.

Novice Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 No graffic card i gues for gaming most important ^^ ? I only play ET right now, hopefully in the next few weeks I can order a card so I can play BF3. The integrated one is better than the dedicated one I was using previously, seems to be working decently right now. but yes indeed I need one, soon soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to be towards the slower end of the spectrum. It will be a nice beast after you get some video power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elf Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 How do you like the FX 6100 amd cpu? I just put it in my new computer too. I like it, its pretty dang fast coming from a old amd xp 3100 but I would have gone for i5 or i7 maybe? but no extra money to buy the intel one.

Novice Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I was definitely considering going the i5 route, although it's only a quad core, the benchmarks i read put it right up there with the FX series. Ultimate decision was cost for me, I could not get a configuration to work with my budget. I can't really compare the CPU as I came from the AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz, which is pretty much the same as this one in terms of speed etc... The CPU is working great however, no issues yet, with the cpu cooler i mentioned above it's running at 22-32 C pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
