Hi Guys and Gals I'm after advise,
A question I'm sure is asked over and over,so I will try not to get on anyones nerves by asking again but maybee my angle is different
The question is :- What Motherboard and Cpu combo is best for gaming ?
To run power hungry games Crysis,bioshock ect
also it will no doubt bring up the AMD/intel argument
I am swaying towards AMD but I might be persuaded differently,no My angle is in the perameters,its not a case of money no object,but it might be possible to upgrade slowly using bits from my current pc,but the upgrade those bits in time.
I have always been a console man,
My pc was just for surfing and email, I was running an old 1.3ghz amd athelon,and it was really slow and used to hang,I had a few games,and had to buy a graphics card capable of dx9,but still used to hang,so I stuck to consoles,then work was throwing out some IBM pc's,when I checked they had intel P4 @ 2.8Ghz,so I had the board out and some ram and made a semi gaming machine which is what I am on now,I have upgraded the Graphics card again and will run high end games,but they do hang a bit and I do have to have to have graphics options turned down a small amount,
but since I have played Bioshock and GTR2 I have a thurst for PC games,and want something that will run all or most current at full graphics settings
So What motherboard and Cpu do you advise and going on my present pc specs that I will post,is there anything I can use from old pc,ie new cpu and Mobo but use current drives ram or poss graphics card(though its agp it runs Dx10)
I have a PS3 and Xbox360,but there is something about My pc makes me prefer to use
I'l post my current specs in another window as running everest to get info and its quite big
Oh and is there any info you may know about the AMD quad-core processor called Phenom ?,any good ?
