[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;29777549]Games like Fallout 3 should run too bad. Not on Max AA and so on, but fairly nice.[/QUOTE] nice :) also - say you have 15 pounds more to spend, what would you get?
porn mag :D

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;29779480][url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/238326[/url][/QUOTE] should I get the phenom instead? Most games seem to like it over the athlon..
The Phenom II X2? [editline]12th May 2011[/editline] The Athlon II x3 is a good deal faster in most applications, and in games, they're about equal. The Athlon II X3 is going to do better than the Phenom in newer games that utilize more cores.

Also, the Phenom has 4x more cache (6mb over 1.5)
Ahh, the Phenom X4, I thought you said even the Athlon II x4 would be over budget. Anyway, the Phenom II X4 is pretty good, go for it, if you can. You'll be bottlenecked by your card, though, so maybe you should just stay on the Athlon X3 and invest in a better card.

Ahh, sorry I'm a fuckhead, and I was tired. Between those two, I would get the Athlon II X3.
Just purchased the parts :) Will do a live stream of me trying to put this thing together :D I went with the Phenom II X2 btw
Why? It's worse.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;29862852]Why? It's worse.[/QUOTE] Well, I like that it has more cache, plus I'll be upgrading to a 6core phenom in the future :)
[QUOTE=Speedfalcon;29866380]Well, I like that it has more cache, plus I'll be upgrading to a 6core phenom in the future :)[/QUOTE] [b]No.[/b] The extra cache doesn't mean much when you could have gotten one more core. And the 6-core Phenom is ape turd.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;29867106][B]No.[/B] The extra cache doesn't mean much when you could have gotten one more core. And the 6-core Phenom is ape turd.[/QUOTE] And anyways, he could have still upgrade from an Athlon II X3, to a Phenom II. They use the exact same socket.
