In 5 days I am getting my system & this the final decision making purpose. I have narrowed it down to the following according to my preference.

#1: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE - 7.6k
#2: AMD Phenom II X4 945 - 6.9k
#3: AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE -5k

It's gaming purpose & for 1 year only, after that I'll make a brand new system. I won't overclock unless it is necessary for any game. My intentions are to play games like GTA IV, SC:Conviction, AC2 etc as smoothly as possible. I am buying HD 5770 & 4GB RAM along with it.

Unlocking cores are not promising to me & thus it doesn't matter so suggest me upon considering their stock condition (the state they are ready to use). Which one will be most optimum from price-performance perspective. Remember this system is meant for only 1 year. Please answer considering my needs & do not suggest me some other CPU.
 
samsung wins handsdown ! 2 of my friends have these monitor and i do like the samsung on a lot ! benq had a bleedthrough around the corners which was minimal with samsung !

also the screen was much brighter in samsung :)

Helpful advice needed ? :)

AMD processors are not good at all. Go for Intel eyes closed. In processor segment Intel is #1

What part of "do not suggest me some other CPU" didn't you understand?? I don't give damn about what you think about AMD. I have used both & I know that AMD is as good as Intel. If you really wanna help then stop posting idiotic replies. Just cuz you're a mod don't give you the right to be sarcastic or post off topic. Why the heck did you post about the monitor thread here??? Who made you a Mod?
 
Hey aercy,

Since you are not going to overclock, the X4 945 suits you the best.

Now, here is some advice :)

See, since it is for just 1 year, I would suggest you the the X3 440. Why? Because there is hardly any game which uses the 4 cores. You also end up saving some bucks since this costs just 3.9k

Read this ..

So you decide what you want :)

Mate,he didnt give any bad suggestion..at present intel is market leader...hope you know it or else please google&check benchmarks...Why such rude reply to his post?:@ This guy has been in this forum for such long time&he has thorough knowledge what he advises regarding buying hardware...:ohyeah:

Maybe you need some knowledge from this guy about the various hardware...:P Sorry i dint mean offend to you but your rude reply made my type this...:) why create multiple threads for all queries?

An AMD Phenom II X4 955/965 BE can take on i5 in terms of performance whereas the cost of the AMD CPU is much lower compared to the i5. For India product needs to be economic yet performing, that's AMD. Intel makes great CPU, no doubtabout it, but they are costly. If I can get same kind of performance at lower cost then that's the WINNER. AS for the multiple threads, it's called organization of information. I have created thread as per need as per time.

I am sorry I got agitated; I shouldn't have. Am sorry Siddhu. But I still don't agree to your statement "AMD processors are not good at all" They are as good as Intel as per price.

Now, shall we get back on topic; till now nobody suggested which one will be a better choice as per my needs stated in my primary post.
 
btw theres a reason behind the cost dude !

but yeah you wont notice any difference in 945 and 955be in terms of gaming !

an x2 555 also wont lag behind but if you play games like gta 4 which use all 4 cores then go for x4 945 and save the extra buks :)
 
the 955, since it's easier to overclock, and theres not much of a price difference between it and the 945.

btw...why is it for 1 yr only?
 
Cuz after a year I won't be getting time for Games anymore; gonna move to another city for Job. Later I shall build a better system from the scratch.

^Can't you read??
 
go for 555BE if u dont wonna use this PC after 1 yr. ..... if u r lucky then u can unlock it ...... moreover its the GPU which matter more in gaming rather than cpu ..... so save some money and get 555BE
 
forget it friends ... mods are human as well and they too mock around ..... speaking as i have experience for the same

Even I was wanting to save some money & use it on other components but I am not sure if GTA IV will perform well under X2 555BE. How much performance change can I expect from X4 945 to 955 BE? I was also thinking that 1fter a year when I sell this system, a 945/955BE would fetch me better resale value over a 555BE. Isn't it so?
 
i have 9800GT 1GB with unlocked 555BE and it works quite well with gta 4

^^^^ go for 555 u wont get much of a performance gain with higher proccy ... not sure but may be 4-5 FPS more
