Seems pretty clear cut: The first system.
which of those system is better???
I've spent the last 2 week configuring my i7 build and calculating my budget. Today I tried for fun to see what could I get if I go AMD. I really need your advice
I7 Build:
CPU: Intel Core i7: (345$) OC @ 4ghz
VIDEO: Sapphire HD5870: (500$)
PSU: Corsair HX750: 189.77$(214$)
MOBO: Rampage II Gene: (260$)
RAM: G.Skill 1600 DDR3 6GB KIT (175$)
HDD: Western Digital Black 640GB: (86$)
CASE: Antec 900: 114.77$(128$)
HSF: Scythe Mugen 2 45$
Case Fan: Antec TriCool: 17$ (20$)
Monitor: VH222H (200$)
DVD-DRIVE: LG 22x (36$)
total: 2009$ including taxes
versus
AMD Build:
CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 955 (234$) [email protected]
MOBO: Crosshair III Formula (245$)
VIDEO: GTX 295 1792MB 896-bit (655$)
RAM: Patriot Viper II PC3-12800 4GB (160$)
PSU: Corsair HX750: 189.77$(214$)
HDD: Western Digital Black 640GB: (86$)
CASE: Antec 900: 114.77$(128$)
HSF: Scythe Mugen 2 45$
Case Fan: Antec TriCool: 17$ (20$)
Monitor: VH222H (200$)
DVD-DRIVE: LG 22x (36$)
total: 2023$ including taxes
So few question here. Which system will give me a better gaming right out of the box? What about upgradeability? I will play crysis in 1680x1050, all other games max out at 1920x1080. Thanks a lot.
BTW: plz don't says my part are expensive, they're particular reason for this, thank you

The intel/ATI rig for sure, DX11, strong CPU and nice triple channel memory. You can even crossfire when a single HD5870 is to slow for you (which I can't imagine anyways

all these parts are in CDN$.

I dont see why you have to pay more for the same parts for any reason |
Then that would explain it

Wait, isnt the CN dollar worth more than the US dollar or is it just that electronics are more expensive other there?
