Help on my new PC setup

August 21st, 2013

Hi,
So I’m planning on buying a new gaming PC soon since my old one is starting to lack behind.

    Specs:
    -E8500 dualcore 3.16Ghz
    -Nvidea 9800GTX
    -4gig DDR2

So I was looking at a local shop (I’m from Belgium btw) and they are offering some neat PC’s for a good price. The PC I wanna buy would be one of these 2
Battlefield5

    ASUS P8P67 LE
    INTEL 2500K
    Liteon 22x dvd-rewriter
    SEAGATE 1000GB 7200rpm SATA III
    CORSAIR 8GB DDR3 (2x4GB)
    ASUS GTX 560 TI DCII/2DI 1GB PCI-E
    COOLERMASTER STORM Enforcer
    MICROSOFT Windows Home Premium 64BIT NL

Or
Battlefield4

    CORSAIR 600T WHITE
    ASROCK P67 PRO3 B3 ATX
    INTEL Core i5-2500K Boxed met cooler
    LITEON DVD-RW 22X Intern SATA Zwart
    SEAGATE 1000GB ST31000340AS
    CORSAIR 8GB (2 x 4GB) low profile CML8GX3M2A1600C9B
    ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII/2DI,1GB PCI-E
    ANTEC High Current Gamer HCG-620W
    Without Windows (option 99 euro)

Both are priced at 969€, the no OS is not my problem but even with the OS the first option looks better than the 2nd, motherbord with crossfire/SLI compatability and even with the OS is only as expensive as the first.
And will the GTX560 be able to run battlefield maxed out?
Witch would be the best buy?

Answer #1
Both have the same processor/amount of ram/video card so I’d say go with the cheaper one,SLI is overrated IMO,A single,High end
card is good enough,Also,I’d like to point out that you could probably get it even cheaper if you build it yourself,However
on a personal note I think it’d be a big waste of money,Your current PC is not too shabby,With a video card upgrade & additional
4 gigs of RAM it’d handle whatever you throw at it just fine.

I switched my current desktop for a 2yo notebook, needed it for school. And I’d have to upgrade my power supply too. I’d like to put it together myself but I’d rather give 50euro’s more and let someone els do it caus if I would ~censored~ up there’s nowhere I can go to. And for the price that was my main concern they are both priced the same, witch I don’t get because minus the OS there would be a 100€ price diffrence.
Answer #3
You are usually always cheaper building yourself.
The PSU in the second rig would be pushed for a SLI setup with GTX 570.
The GTX 570 on offer is not the best for SLI either with it’s triple slot cooler, you would be better looking for a dual slot cooler.
I don’t think either of the computers have boards that support SLI.
