Yeah overall I think intel still pulls better with multiple things open but if you are just gaming, and not video rendering or anything silly, you should be able to use a cheaper but same speed AMD.

except amd isnt cheaper anymore
Pentiums and i3s outperform athlon and phenom IIs, for cheaper.
Trinity APUs are quite awesome though.

That fucking blows. I need to completely clean my hardware and redo my OS, don't have the time. Being locked up in a P-182 for the past 2 years with no cleaning, it's actually remarkably clean.

The PSU that's in it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0%20watt%20psu

Decent combo deal, good PSU, good case, go for it. Would be about 180$ separate. For 150$ though, you could get a slightly better case and PSU, not much better though. I'm sure Zero could make tons of cheaper and more efficient combo's for you. Dude knows his shit on cooling and power supply. lol

As Stars said, the i7 is overkill. Get an i5 unless you plan on doing audio, video, or cgi editing.

Fuck a AMD/ATI. Intel/Nvidia all the way. Best idea yet, give me you monies and let me have the new PC, you can have my old one.... lol

Yea thats one of the few CM psus that arnt terrible. Still its CM and as a rule of thumb avoid them all together for PSUs, while there are a few gems(well... scratched up gems) its not worth trying to pick them out.
600W is the peek rating on that PSU, not its normal 24/7 max output so treat the PSU as a 500W. There are better PSUs for the same price or cheaper price of that CM one. I assume its a combo deal your looking at though and if the deal is good enough Its alright to go for it.

I used to have a mean gaming pc. I actually used to be pretty big in building pc's and shit. Get the knack for it from the faja who worked on PC's in the military

But than I found a thing called a job, and it changed every. Now im a work-aholic.

You all should trade in your fancy computers to buy semi auto guns.
