CPU/Mobo E8400 or Q8400 or Phenom II, Which one for a gaming pc?

Get yourself Either E8400 Or X3 720.

I have seen people having Quad core but then they dont use the full capability of the processor,Usually people buy a quad and use it for downloading and gaming and for that one dont need a Quad any decent Dual core is more then enough for now.For gaming and other normal stuff Decent Dual core is the way to go.
 
OK then I think I'll go for E8400 :eek:hyeah:
Please suggest a good motherboard.....
I'll be using either a zotac gts250 amp or a hd4850....:hap2:
 
zotac gts250 amp i s always better than hd4850

my opinion---> use onboard graphics for 1 or 2 months and grab a dx11 card....

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

ASUS P5Q
 
The motherboards you are suggesting are very pricey...
I need something around Rs.5,000 ....

Is zotac gts250 amp better than hd4870 too??
 
gts 250 is almost equal to 4870...in some games gts 250 is better than 4870...the difference is very small...so don't worry ...go for gts 250

lol

do some research first:bleh:

4870 actually competes with GTX 260 and falls slightly slower than the GTX. Maybe in games with Physx, GTS 250 competes with 4870.

i own an 8800 GT[same as 9800GT] and 4870. Hell of a difference b/w both.

for eg: 8800GT 3D M 06 score: 10.2k

4870 3DM 06: 18.5k
