I would get an i7 with these specs

I would get an i7 with these specs

so the i7 3770k ?
it is 100€ more expensive tho

[uhZylon]

You don't need the i7.
The difference between the i5 and the i7 in terms of gaming isnt worth the price difference.

Ye well you said max is 1250 , so its preferred if you get an i7

[Stevenom]

Ye well you said max is 1250 , so its preferred if you get an i7

Why when you can get a better graphics card with that money?

[baselm]

Why when you can get a better graphics card with that money?

Because a 660ti is not just enough , its even a high-end videocard for all games.

Well , i'll see if i can't get a better graphic card for that money i'll buy the i7 .

Why when you can get a better graphics card with that money?

What graphic card can i get for about 80-100€ extra ?

You can get a gtx 670 mate but its very unnecessary

You can get a gtx 670 mate but its very unnecessary

both the graphic card and CPU kinda are i guess .
i could use the money that i saved on the computer for a better mouse or monitor . (i have a budget of 1500€)

For the mouse , i like A4Tech mouses , for the monitors , get an LG DM2350D
The 660 Ti is pretty good for every game made so far , you can use it with high settings and 1080p , no need for the gtx 670 unless you want to spend your money

[Stevenom]

i7 won't have much boost over an i5 in gaming.
Do you even know the difference between the two?

Hmm this is quite expensive for such a lower end bundle that i had... k i already owned a PSU that I reused but my costs were same or less and i had this (owja ben nederlands dus de kosten zouden toch redelijk gelijk moeten zijn voor 't geval dat):

Asrock Z77 Extreme6 - 130
2x Corsair Vengence 8GB 1600 - 80(total)
Corsair H80 - 75
Bitfenix Shinobi XL - 130
Intel i7 3770k - 300
Msi gtx670 Power Edition OC - 370

Btw this particular gtx670 equals or is greater than the standard nvidia gtx680. so if you were to Voltage tweak this shit it would make allot of difference.

(BTW you know that a thing like Corsair H80i <---- please get the i version not the normal one which i have ... the tubing is so much better ... idk if it also has the same tech specs as the h100i with the sleeker mountings).


you should recheck the shops for their prices cauze my pc is 6 months old and most hardware prices are already lower than i just noted as i looked up the bloody CPU cooler. Owyeah the difference between the 3570k and the 3770k is just the hyperthreading the i5 uses the passive cores and i7 has dual threaded cores. For gaming It can be handy whilst streaming I assume (the thing i do ,, for my settings that i use I still burn like 90% of the CPU atleast! but yeah i haven't overclocked my pc due to power savings and stuff ;'D neither is my gpu).


BUT STILL TRY TO LOOK FOR OTHER SHOPS... seems abit overpriced on some items.

Most of the parts cost an extra 10-50 euro more in Belgium .
You would pay 1085 while i would pay 1200 . and i still wouldn't have a harddrive and power supply for that so in total i would be paying around 1500 euro .

although i might consider the Asrock Z77 Extreme6 since it's only 15€ extra .

i think i'll use the 300€ i'll have left on a monitor and mouse/keyboard .
