Hi. I was wondering which would make the better computer. A i3 550 with a gtx 570 or a i5 2500k with a gtx 560. Please help as I need to buy this computer next week. Thanks very much

i5 2500k and gtx 560Ti

I think it will depend on the games played whether its cpu or gpu limited, can you not go with the 2500k and 570

 

[stevenpotter4]

Am only on a budget of 650 so can only really get one or the other. Which would be best for crisis 2 and batman?

 

[RJC]

What's the rest of the spec?

 

[stevenpotter4]

its between these 2 the titan is the one with the 570 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-195-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat= http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-237-OK&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=

I would go with the first system (tTe 2500k & 560.)

 

[stevenpotter4]

thank you so is the 560 not a lot slower than the 570 or will the proesser just make up for it

Link below shows the comparison between the 560 Ti & 570:

The Ocuk I think would come with the 560 gpu which is slightly slower than the 560, so this will give you a rough idea on performance.

What res are you playing at?

 

[stevenpotter4]

i would be playing at 1440 x 900

 

[RJC]

The 560 should be fine, least with the 2500k this is a very fast chip and beat the older i3 550, least if you do fancy a upgrade its far easier to change the gpu rather than the cpu & motherboard

thanks sorry one last question i just seen this one is it any better http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-194-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=

 

[stevenpotter4]

Stick with the Arkham, AMD are quite abit slower than Intel atm.
