With a set up like this could i expect decent game play on World of Warcraft?

(see post 5 i was having a brain fart)

LOL you can't show other people your cart, they will just see theirs. (You might even get a whole load of responses saying "WOW that's just what I was going to get!!!".)

Take a screen shot and upload to a photo sharing site, or just list the components and add links.

I can't see your cart , what kind of budget are you thinking ??

 

[smudge2126]

Lol ok will just list the components cant do any thing fancy like screen shots im at work

The Corsair power supplies are some of the top rated on the market

I think you should go for this build as the cpu is a lot better .

 

[Tythus]

I was gonna say you should sandy bridge it

 

[smudge2126]

Well it is if u want sandybridge gear but i was thinking of not going that route and up grading to a bulldozer processor when the come out and since thats all i would have to up grade (GF wont moan to much)

I'd suggest you wait for about a week when we find out more info on bulldozer as its making its debut at Ce-bit which runs from the 1st to the 5th of march .

+1

As we don't know what it is exactly

Yeah i know i had a look was mentioned that it will be commpatable with the AM3 chipsets though (read it some where a while ago cant remember where)

Well pay day aint till 07-03-11 so i wont be ordering till then (and some even better stuff might be on "this week only")

But nothing has been confirmed by AMD though which is the problem they haven't gone out and said this is it.

 

[farmer]

I was under the impression that Bulldozer was going to be socket AM3+?

 

[stulid]

It was confirmed by AMD that a AM3 cpu will work in a AM3+ motherboard, but not a AM3+ cpu in a AM3 motherboard.

The link and source is somewhere at Xbitlabs.com

 

[smudge2126]

Well if thats the case im waiting to see what AMD have to say bit of a pain since my GF has given me the go ahead to get a PC now oh well the waiting for infomation game begins
