Advice On New Processor Needed

[karaktakus]

Hi, im very new to the forum, I have noticed a lot of intelligent comments as well as the usual hyping up of both Intel and Amd which is to be expected. To be honest I have used both, albeit ancient and outdated now, including the pc im using now, one of the rubber bands is on its way out so I would like some advice on the Amd II x6 1090T which has caught my eye.

I have just built my brothers new PC " DisrupTor75 " who asked similar advice on the I7 930, thank you to all who took the time to respond. The final build went well and almost without a hitch ( just needed a SATA Dvd-rom drive rather than Pata ( no IDE on the motherboard ) He now has a blindingly fast gaming PC..

The advice I need is: Which Intel processor is equivalent to the 1090T at stock speeds? I have no intentions of overclocking. It will be used for games only.

Thanks.

1055t is slightly faster than a 920 about even with a 930.
1090t is a waste of money if your not overclocking as its not a lot faster than a 1055t.


some games will favour a 930 but only by a few fps.~
btw x6 is overkill for games but might be worthwhile in the long run if you dont upgrade for a long time.

a 965 or an i750 will do just as well in games, personally i'd spend the extra over a 965 and get a 1055t just because the cost isnt a lot more

Fastest stock speed Intel CPU for games is probably the i5 750. The 800 series CPUs are also fast in games, but massively over priced.
