    9 replies, posted
I'm kinda hardware retarded when it comes to computers, so I'm asking you guys to help build me an awesome setup. My maximum budget is $1200, which I believe should be able to get great specs compared to my current shitbox.

Leaving you some money for a keyboard/mouse/screen/speakers.

^ Mind you, but an I5 750 will outperform the X4 955. Though on the GPU, the 5870 is a tad better then the GTX 460 (Which is nearly equal to a 5830-5850.)

The I5's performance boost is not near worth the extra cost, on the CPU AND the MoBo,
