AMD or Intel i7 New Build project really need some help

[hayhoea00]

hey all just registered as need some advise, i only have a budget of £1,560 as ill be hoping to pay £30 a week for a year. i really want a i7 pc for the reason of its new and thats about it really, i have no idea about i7 whatsoever iv hurd about the 8 threading and all that but dont understand any of it. as with the AMD build i'm used to AMD as got 2 amd prebuilt gaming computers abot 3 years ago for like £500 an only ever really got into gaming, nothing else really interest me. so if some1 can find me a i7 build that is better then the:
AMD PNENOM II x470 with the GEFORCE gtx560 ti. coz at least i have used amd but only with lower models and the phenom 3.2 my m8 has and i have used but only with old ati video card, and run games poorly... iv chose the 470 and 560 as there is loads of videos of people running games at very high spec recording there screen and still perfect fps....and there all build that have lower models of the same graphics card. im used to counterstrike and call of duty 1&uo,2 and 4 but now havnt been into pc for a few years everything upgraded round me...now have a full time job really want to get back into pc gaming..... please some1 recomend something with a really good reason behind it... im looking for a pc that is going to awsome for gaming, surfing, downloading and video recording and editing. but mainly for GAMING... thanks all help appreciated...

Would that budget include any peripherals? (Monitor, k/m etc?)

 

[Fear]

With the budget you have i have speced an intel i7 and GTX580 and also put in a overpowered PSU which would cover for upgrading to sli in the future if you don't think you would add a second card then you can drop it down to a 650W.

well there is m8 latest out look as again coz iv used AMD and iv seen first hand its good for gaming, is intel really gonna be what i want. and mouse getting a Razor copperhead for free and gonna buy the g19 seperate

 

[hayhoea00]

and that cost £1,478.00 including VAT and delivery. i cant fast track it

 

[hayhoea00]

and the GPU on i7 whats is that all about some1 told me that u can run most games on low settings with no video card and tbh black ops with no VC is kinda hard to belive

 

[Fear]

See you have put mainly for gaming and the best thing to do for gaming is getting a top end card i am not calling the 560 rubbish or anything but with your budget a 560 looks a bit limp and also processor wise the 6 cores on the AMD won't really help with gaming the Intels faster speed will and the most cores i have had use out of while gaming is 3.

 

[Fear]

and the GPU on i7 whats is that all about some1 told me that u can run most games on low settings with no video card and tbh black ops with no VC is kinda hard to belive

Very doubtful otherwise some of the games would have run on my old laptop that actually has a graphics card.

 

[hayhoea00]

basicly after getting little bits of info from people all over this is what im looking at as it works out i can pay this off in a year at £32 a week. but this a good build and and i right in saying with both them graphics cards i can run both 3D monitors. thanks for all ya help guys...

well there is m8 latest out look as again coz iv used AMD and iv seen first hand its good for gaming, is intel really gonna be what i want. and mouse getting a Razor copperhead for free and gonna buy the g19 seperate

 

[hayhoea00]

yea the 580 x2 tho for multi monitor come to like £2000 or has it got 2 outputs so i would only need one to run two monitors

 

[hayhoea00]

if not then i dont really need two monitors and saves me the price of one screen i suppose...

 

[bg92]

This would be a better system with 2 gpu's if you want to have 2. But you can use a single gtx580 for two monitors. I would go for either the gtx580 or 2xamd 6950

[hayhoea00]

and another one does the 3d monitors run on hdmi or vga, coz if its vga i can have two monitors per GC where as only the one HDMI cable, if its VGA then i can buy the two 3D monitors and use my HDMI tv as the other no none 3D use

 

[bg92]

You would be ok with one amd6950, I know it has two dvi ports and these give basically same quality as hdmi.

 

[hayhoea00]

Will it work with 2x 3D monitor tho or 1 x 3D through the hdmi port and 2 x VGA monitors I don't really get the hole 3d ready thing

You would be ok with one amd6950, I know it has two dvi ports and these give basically same quality as hdmi.

 

[hayhoea00]

The more I learn about all this the more seems to pop up that I need to look into, nine weeks left till I can order so I got time to research

 

[bg92]

To be honest I just wouldn't bother with 3D. I just don't think that 3D gaming and support has evolved enough for it to be worth it, and it is costly.
