i7 920 vs. 940

"Or are you asking because you're buying a computer that offers the i7 940 as a BTO upgrade and you want to know if it's worth it? " this.

i7 920 vs. 940

because i am not a hardware guy, i dont know how to overclock, i dont want to mess with anything, i just want to order a computer, turn it on, and have it work. i was just curious if the extra money to move up to the slightly higher speeds of the 940 would be worth it in the long run since i...

assuming 6gigs ram, gtx285...worth it for the few hundred extra to go for the 940? no overclocking, and this machine will be kept for probably 2yrs at the least.

p3 1ghz to new PC

want to buy decent gaming pc, but havent purchased pc in ~5yrs

ouch, thanks for the warning. i was definitely not totally sold on cyberpowerpc because i never got a great feeling from them, but the low price was tempting. you do have to admit that pricing out a system to exactly $l33t dollars and no cents is a pretty funny coincidence.

p3 1ghz to new PC

cyberpowerpc seems to have the most options and best prices, but i am somewhat wary of ordering from them. dell will give you mostly shit components, but the prices are pretty good and you know its a reputable company. pugetsystems.com seems like one of the best custom builders around, but...

thanks for the suggestions about ram and videocard. i didnt know they raped you that hard with the ram. the core2 system priced out $100 more than the i7 system because it has a gtx280 compared to the radeon 3650 in the i7 system. my upgrade experience traumatized me a bit, so i was hoping...

ok i looked at the studio xps...i have a few builds...which would be the best choice? again, im looking for pretty high end gaming performance now, but i dont want to end up on the wrong side of the performance/price curve where you dont get enough extra performance to justify the extra cost...
