Gotta question guys. Piecing a rig together to do netflix, hulu streaming, web browsing and gaming. Res will be 1280x720 since I use the pc in my living room 24/7 hooked up to my hdtv. This rig will basically be on 16 hours a day as its always in use.
If i go I5 2500 k its $300 for the CPU and mobo
If i go x4 965 its $130 for the CPU and mobo
at my low res will I see a big difference between the two in my uses I listed? If i go with the x4 I can use the spared $170 to get a 60gb ssd for my OS and a nice 1tb hdd for storage. I plan on getting a hd6850 video card either way. Just wondering what you guys think about this.
