Hi guys i was up until now going to order a i5 pc but i have since been researching i7 a bit more and figure that is the way to go as it is more future proof.
I have put together a pc below and just wanted to gather your thoughts on it:
Intel i7 920 DO
Antec 300
PowerColour 5850
Foxconn FlamingBlade GTI-I can get this off a mate of mine for £60 brand new,Is this a good deal?
G-Skill 6gb 1333
Total Is:591.13
I will be re using
Thermaltake TR2 550W
Samsung DVD Drive
Seagate 250gb HDD

Will my psu be enough for a i7 and 5850. I will not be overclocking for the time being.

i have just put together a am3 build and i am just enquiring as to what the difference in performance would be:
Am3 Build.
Phenom II 955
Powercolour 5850
Asus M4A785TD-M Evo
Antec 300
Patriot G Series 4gb
Total is 546.87
As you can see there is a £44.26 between an i7 and Phenom 955 build, Is it worth paying the extra for the i7?

have just checked my psu and I have got 1 4pin CPU and 2 6 pin gfx. Is that not enough?
