Thanks a lot #ALPHA17 you've helped me build my pc throughout! Thanks! Ok so how is the Core 2 quads performance when compared to the i3? I know its old tech but it has 4 physical cores right? And i3 2100 equivalent core 2 quad must cost cheaper right? And I wont be using the integrated graphics...

Ok alright thanks. So will an i3 2100 + hd5770 be better than a a8-3850 + hd6670 in crossfire mode?

Ok one last question, the amd a8-3850, what all graphics cards will it support in dual graphics/crossfire mode?

Ok guys! Wow i thought this thread died weeks ago! Anyway, I think Im gonna go with the i3-2100 because, it seems to better that the Phenom II x4 in almost everything it does. I have one more question guys. If I add like 4k more ill get the i5-2400, which is pretty awesome a future proof. So Is...

Alright Thanks.

Ok so I still still still still still dont get why alpha always suggests a 1600mhz ram even if the i3 doesnt support it. Can you give me a reason? If my system will under clock a 1600mhz processor to 1333mhz whats the point?

Hahaha Okay. Ill be getting an Intel i3 2100 with a hd5770 , 4gbx2 ddr3 and a dell in2030m monitor @ 1600x900. And I love games like COD, Battlefield, Maxpayne, Age of empires, Sniper Ghost etc. Dont really enjoy horror games. I would also like to play games like the elder scrolls skyrim...

Hey guys Im soon buying a new pc so can you guys suggest a few awesome first person and 3rd person shooters, role playing games and real time strategy games. I really dont enjoy sports all that much but still if there are any awesome sports/racing games do tell me! Thanks. Also include adventure.

Ok thanks.

Ok so 1600 mhz ram will work perfectly well on the i3 huh? Ok anyway, @Alpha you suggested a 4gb ram combo.. Are you saying that an 8 gb ram wont make a difference?

If the game is too laggy at that resolution, I can reduce the res to increase fps...

Ok Ill be getting the Intel DH67BL and the mobo supports upto 16 gb. So I can either get 2GB x 4 or 4GB x 2. Can you suggest a good ram and should it be 1600 mhz or 1333mhz?

Hey guys can you suggest a ram for the i3-2100? A few people on TE advised me to get the 1600 mhz ram for i3-2100 instead of a 1333 mhz one but intel says that the i3 only supports 1333 mhz ram! And BTW should I get 1 4gb ram or 2 4gb rams? Will there be a difference in performance or anything?

Hey guys Ill be soon getting a dell in2030m with a hd 5770. The maximum resolution is 1600x900. Its a 20'' monitor so if I play games in 1366x768 or 1280x720, will it completely fill the screen? Thanks.

Ok thanks! But guys I think the 5850 will be overkill for my budget and requirement so i was thinking of the 5830. Whats the price of the 5830, new? And I was unable to see a 5790 but again whats the price of the hd5830? And BTW guys which company's card should I get?

I am on a tight budget.. This is the config i decided on with the help of fellow te members'. Mother Board - Intel DH67BL (5200) Processor - Intel Core i3 2100 - (6200) Monitor - Dell IN2030M (6500) Graphics Card - HD5670(4500)|HD5770(6200) Memory Card - G.Skill RipJaws 4GB 1600MHZ (1900)...

Ok so will the 5770 be slower or worse than the 6770? The 5770 is available for 6.2k and the 6770 is 1k more. Im in a really tight budget so.. and some people even say that there's only a very minor difference in between both of em and that I won't even notice!

Ok so finally what card do you suggest under 8k and what should be the psu? And wont the 5770 work better than a 6670 even though 6670 is of a higher class??

Ok ill wait for the 7 series to release. And wouldn't getting the 58XX be better instead of getting a 67XX or a 6850? Wont it be way cheaper? And what are the prices of the hd5850 and hd5870?

Thanks!
