R.I.P. Laptop
[FSR]Ush:
thx!
Another question, what is better to choose... intel (i5/i7) or AMD FX (6 core??)?
I have no idea what I am going to buy (could even be a laptop) but just getting informed right now.
[MAF]Karlis:
intel for sure, AMD FX was a failure.
if you say your planned budget for this we may help choosing.
[FSR]Ush:
not sure about my budget yet, I also need to buy a monitor and windows 7..
[FSR]Ush:
Hm think I can find a monitor for around 130 euro. And for windows.. they sell w7 OEM for 90..

Give some other options please.
Some questions I have:
- What power to choose? Is this good? Or too much/not enough?
- Need processor cooler? Or does it already have one included?
[MAF]Karlis:
processor : 2500K, you can overclock it easily to ~4.0 without a doubt, most likely to about 4.7ghz
gpu: 7850, 78xx series prove to be big success - good performance, good power usage, one of the best performance/price ratio.
motherboard: any compatible, if you want to overclock a bit, then maybe bit more advanced than this, and you don't need the pci (without the -e) ports, they're not used usually.
psu: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp fill teh data there and other info, and it should recommend you.
cooler: it has one onboard, but it is small and ineffective, i suggest spending ~30eur on moderate one. If running on stock clocks you can stay with original as well tho.
memory: that's everything you need.
