Hello Everyone, I am currently building a new gaming rig for myself and I was leaning to make use of a high-end Quad Core processor (Intel) but most of what I have researched on is that Dual Core is where a gamer would benefit most from for the time being until some few years from now. For now I?ll be considering a Core 2 Duo. As for my budget I am currently staying away from the extreme versions and basically to add it all up I just want to make use of the processor to last me at least 2 years since the trend of game requirements aren?t so demanding every few months, well that?s just me.
Question: What?s the best processor for gaming that will last for 1-2 years ahead in gaming? (Intel of course) and thats very overclockable.
My current budget right now is around $4500 grand, including the Monitor
CPU: That?s the Question
Motherboard: Was thinking of the 790i SLI boards or probably wait till the 890i (that if their will ever be one like that by the end of this year lol
Memory: CORSAIR TW3X4G1600C9DHX 4gb kit (4gb x 2) 1600mhz DDR3
Videocard: Dual or even Tri if possible GTX280s, waiting till it comes out (last week of June I believe)
Optical Drive: PIONEER BDC-2202B blu-ray SATA combo DVD rw+ blu-ray player
Casing: Antec Twelve Hundred *Full-tower*
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling TURBO-COOL 1KW-SR EPS12V 1000W
Monitor: Samsung 275T 27? inch HDMI-LCD
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit system
Aftermarket Cooling: Zalman CNPS9700 NT CPU Cooler (not familiar with what watercooling brands are the best, maybe you guys could help me on that department)
Any other suggestions would help me a lot, Thanks in advance
