The title says most of it..
need a new CPU/Mobo/Ram combo to update my PC the rest of the parts can stay as I think they're fine.
Priced up a few budles and the I5/Asus P55/G.Skill Ripjaw came to 342 quid which i thought wasnt bad but then decided to price up a AMD and got
Phenom II 955/Asus M4A785TD-V Evo/G.Skill Ripjaw which came to around 290 quid which to me for a higher stock clocked processor the same Ram was a good deal.
So which is the best platform to go for? Personally I think that the AM3 socket may last longer seen as Socket 1366 is already ahead of 1156? which i need help understanding the difference? and finally the AMD mobo is chipset 785g do i need to pay the extra for 790Gx? what are the differences in them??
thanks in advance!
