[url]http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12298525[/url] If not, what needs replacing? Trying to keep a budget of $1250 CAD. Already have a monitor.
Looks good to me

Well it is now unavailable. Plus the i5 would be better, I believe he is a gamer, not a server.
[QUOTE=EBS-Gamer;21838077]Well it is now unavailable. Plus the i5 would be better, I believe he is a gamer, not a server.[/QUOTE] It's actually more for rendering and editing photos and videos. It's a workstation PC.
EBS Shhh The XEON is good. Get it. Looks good, great case :)
the xeon is just a low clocked i7 which is binned higher
[QUOTE=EBS-Gamer;21838077]Well it is now unavailable. Plus the i5 would be better, I believe he is a gamer, not a server.[/QUOTE] The xeon is just a core i7 with higher binning and a lower clock. Xeon are just consumer cpus with a few extra instructions.
[QUOTE=sbradford26;21838598]The xeon is just a core i7 with higher binning and a lower clock. Xeon are just consumer cpus with a few extra instructions.[/QUOTE] Yea, it's great! But unfortunately, as EBS pointed out, they are out of stock. Should I wait for them to get back in stock or swap for something else?

Buy i5 750 :downs:
or a Phenom II X6 1090T
[QUOTE=derlicious;21839939]or a Phenom II X6 1090T[/QUOTE] ROFL oh wait, you were being serious.
[QUOTE=derlicious;21839939]or a Phenom II X6 1090T[/QUOTE] I would ge the i5 over the 1090t for gaming
[QUOTE=rampageturke;21840273]I would ge the i5 over the 1090t for gaming[/QUOTE] I'd get the i5 over the 1090T for [b]any[/b] reason. AMD's response to Nehalem was absolutely pathetic.
Hey it's Phone!

Phone, could you do us all a favor and stop posting? I'd say get one of those Hexacore AMD CPUs if you are using this computer as a workstation. Or wait for that Xeon to come back in stock.
[QUOTE=anikilol;21840684]Fanboy much?[/QUOTE] Not at all. AMD just sucks right now. [editline]09:01PM[/editline] [QUOTE=GamerKiwi;21841804]Phone, could you do us all a favor and stop posting?

Um no, you're a fanboy. AMD processors are very good for their price. And He's looking for a good workstation processor, those hexacore processors are good for rendering and such.
Urm yeh my fanboy detector is pointing at you. I also use it as a gay-dar. When i point it at your name it seems to go off the charts Anyway amd are good
[QUOTE=derlicious;21843058]Urm yeh my fanboy detector is pointing at you. I also use it as a gay-dar. When i point it at your name it seems to go off the charts[/QUOTE] What the actual fuck?
AMD makes great processors for their price. Intel makes high performance processors, but at a higher price.

Show me some benchmarks comparing the two. Besides, I was just saying that if he's impatient about the Xeon processor coming back in stock, he could just get one of the hexacores.
Thanks Phone means a lot
[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;21843452]Why get an i7 860 when you can save a good $70 by getting an AMD Hexacore?[/QUOTE] What? The 1090T costs MORE than the 860.

Gotta buy it pretty soon. Unless I can get on newegg.com site shipped to Canada :v:
