Hey folks,
as the headline says, I am mainly looking for a rig which works best for computer graphics but also a little bit of gaming.
However I not 100% sure, if I should go with Phenom II or Core I7
Phenom Pros:
-fast
-cheap
-easy to OC
-cheap RAM, MB
Phenom Cons:
-no octa core in near future
-no AM3 MB yet
Core I7 Pros:
-faster (8 virtual cores)
-OC
-future-proof
Core I7 Cons:
-expensive DDR3 RAM and ever more expensive MBs
At the moment I actually tend to the Intel, as it is simply a whole lot faster in multithreaded apps.
Which one would you pick, if you were me?
