Need to buy this weekend .Gaming rig ~42k. Please help.

I have got 4 GB right now , golcha didnt have 2 X 2 with him at that time and i didnt want to wait more :face_with_tongue: … i will be getting another 4 gb stick next month or so (will get 1600 as the price diff is not much ~ 2 ,300 or so , though no plans as yet to upgrade my processor for another 1.5 yrs.

What about I7’s they will fit easily in this budget…

and some News About AMD 8350, 8 core processors which will be better than buldozer ones will be launched soon …

i7 were costing around 12k more than my current processor :face_with_tongue: .. + more motherboard cooling costs etc . would have overshot my budget by around 15-20k :face_with_tongue:
Have tried out a few games -skyrim etc in high settings and everything is running smoothly by now :).. will try out some more and post… thanks guys for the help , will do with the 1333mhz performance of the 1600mhz till my next processor upgrade. Not having any issue so far :slight_smile:

Vishera’ based Piledriver CPU’s are not going to perform as well as Intel dual-cores in gaming, simply because the Instructions Per Cycle – IPC is very poor compared to Intel’s Core series architecture.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!
