Alright well im stuck between two systems, Ones a P4 @3.0ghz and the other is a AMD 64 @ 1.8Ghz. Heres the systems thro newegg, the only place i feel confident doing bussiness thro. And my budget is right around 840-850, I have a 500 watt Aspire PSU, Sound blaster sound card, and a DVD drive, so those are taken care of.
AMD system:
*POWMAX DEMON II Black ATX Mid Tower Case
*CHAINTECH NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset Motherboard 939
*AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8GHz, 512KB L2 Cache Winchester core
*Mushkin Dual Pack 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200
*Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
*MSI nVIDIA GeForce 6600GT Video Card, 128MB DDR3, 128-Bit PCI Xpress
*Sony Cdrom 52x and sum floppy drive
*Total: 820 with out shipping
Intel P4 system:
*RAIDMAX Black 10-bay Case
*Albatron "PX915P" i915P Chipset Motherboard 775 socket
*Intel LGA 775 Pentium 4 530 3.0 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Technology
*Corsair Value Select Dual Channel Kit 184 Pin 1G(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200
*Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
*MSI nVIDIA GeForce 6600GT Video Card, 128MB DDR3, 128-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, PCI-Express
*Sony Cdrom 52x and sum floppy drive
*Total: 814 without shipping
Im a hardcore Pc gamer and i also use programs such as 3d studio max and Photoshop CS, Games that i normally play (or should say TRY to play ) are Farcry, Half life 2, Doom3, all the Battlefield games and pretty much anything else that catches my interest
Now I know that AMD outperforms Intel in gaming and Intel outperforms AMD in mutltasking and whatnots, but am i gonna notice a huge difference between the two setups, talking like 30 40 fps in games? Is there any major benefits of one system over the other? Is there anything i should change?
Thanks in advance,
Jay
