My birthday is coming up in serveral months and I need to get a firm idea of what I should get. My Budget will be about $350AUD give or take. My list: 1. AMD Phenom 2 x6 1090t Black Edition $350AUD [IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/2r70lyq.png[/IMG] I would replace my Phenom 2 x2 550 and use that in a second build that I would use for going to friends and if friends come over here etc. 2. ASUS VH232H 23" Monitor Full HD $200AUD [img]http://www.asus.com/websites/global/products/WnXwbLlYPC9HqOdJ/LCDview_01.jpg[/img] This would be a second screen. I already have that screen but I'd like another one the same as it looks neater. 3. Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Digital Surround Sound System $350AUD [img]http://www.webnexus.in/site/store/images/111%20LOGITECH%20Z-5500.jpg[/img] This would be a nice addition to my computer but not neccesary. Here are my specs. Don't dispear about my GPU. That is going to be upgraded shortly! [IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/67467l.png[/IMG] Do you think there could be something more worth while than anything I posted above? Thanks alot, Michael PS I will make a build for the second PC and I will post it in this thread instead of making another.
If your just gaming an AMD Phenom II X4 955/965 would be a better option.
Well I do some light CAD work so it would utilise all of them and plus I was reading that when not all the cores are being used it goes to 3-4 cores and raises the clock so that would be great for gaming as well. I just thought since with my budget I would use up to it.
You should probably upgrade your GPU first. The CPU isn't [i]THAT[/i] bad, but the GPU is just... Blech.
[QUOTE=Rashy;23611076]If your just gaming an AMD Phenom II X4 955/965 would be a better option.[/QUOTE] The 965 is not a good deal. It costs $20 more for a .2GHz increase.
Ditch the speakers and get a 5850 or GTX 470.

GTX470 ftw
FFS, Read the OP. I am buying my own GPU soon and it is not going to be a Birthday pressie. I would like to get something in the list.
Phenom.
I think I am going to get the Phenom. It is a long story but this is how it goes. My Parents PC is about dead, so what is going to happen is that they will buy the 1090T and I will put that in my PC and give them my 550. It is better for them money wise as well.
Cpu looooool
