AMD Phenom II x6 vs i5-2600k

[PagkahomotSAimongUTOToi]

I want advances lang gud. Dili lang ko gnahan nga ma uwahi sa latest, mao sad na akong mga reasons. I want to try games from offline FPS to RPG games with good settings & ma enjoy lang sad ko sa iyang dagan. Usahay raman sad maka play kay I'm on to work as always jud. Mao gnahan ko something worth out of my money, hehehe... pero i7, sakit kaau sa heart

i feel na murag ngcontradict ka sa imong kaugalingon. usahay raka mkadula ug games ky nagwork ka unya mupalit ka ug cpu nga (mahal mahal) pra mkaplay sa games nga nindot ug graphics (which needs alil bit more budget and hours of gaming para mafully appreciate nimo).

for me, i3 2100 is good for you. since d mn kaau ka gamer, i mean like in 24hrs im guessing u play like only 2-3 hours since as u say u work (expected u work 8hours a day). in addition, if u wana use ur pc for apps, there is the hyperthreading tech in i3 which is not available in i5.

if u think its worth spending extra money on pc for that edge in game processing even if you only play for like 2-3hrs on weekdays, then go for i5.
pero kanang i5 2500k kay pangoc na xa. unya kung d ka magoc maypa mag i5 2500 nlng.

NOTE: if you overclock a cpu beyond the turbo boost, the turbo boost becomes obsolete. turbo boost is available in i5 and i7 models and not in i3 also hyperthreading is available in i3 and i7 and not in i5

i3-2100 is good enough for you pair with descent vcard daug na since your're working 8hrs per day and you can play 2-3hrs max. on weekend.

Just my thought only....

Daghan na kaayog nicomment nga adto na kas i5-2500.. Motuo na lang kaha kas Majority TS? What else are you waiting for?

If ing-ana lang gihapon, why pa mangutana ka diri? Just get whichever you want then..

I believe on the majority no doubt about it. But still, sa ako ghapon ang decision if I should pursue on buying or not. All I wanted was advises, That's it! No more No Less!

Not work literally ALWAYS man gud... I play if I have time because I am working home-base & schedules are booked. I ain't in the office or something. I am a gamer by experience but I stopped because of school and immediately I got a job. I want to play good games nowadays since wala na jud ko nag duwa2 since I had this job.

By the way, I ain't contradicting, denying or something. All I wanted was advices to Istoryans here because I believe they are more experience with these stuffs.

unsa ur line of work TS?

if online tutorial ka.one on one .u need a very fast connection + dualcore pc

with this, the intel i3 23xx serves u right on performance and budget

if online tutorial ka.. hosting an e-classroom, u need a very fast connection + a quad to cater many simultaneous traffic and querries.

with this, the intel i5 2400 | 2500 serves u right on performance and budget

if want to overdo it. have the i7 2600 | 2600K

never mind the X6 1055T.. it had already received it's kick in the face, courtesy of the dualcore i3 2100 a long time ago..

be sure to have a descent VC.. ATI for just gaming | browsing

Nvidia with CUDA and Physix if you want to try some graphics stuff, like Adobe and likes + Gaming | Browsing, since u will ur fast PC already..

a 4GB is a must nowadays with an 80+ PSU

gudluck!

Thank you sa advice nimo bossing... This is WHAT I WANT!!

Actually I am using AMD Dual Core 2.1GHz as procie, 4gb mem, GT430 1gb-128bit. Pero dili man pde makaduwa sa akong gnahan gud nga medyo heavy jud cya, hehehe! One game nga ako duwaon kay Starcraft II unta..

Sa pagka karon, akong gi duwa ron nga old school games... Like Quake III, SC 1, Warcraft III etc... My favorite, Bookworm Adventures.. pakutaw sa utok! hahaha

change the Mobo and Procie. an X2 4200+ i think that's well past it's primetime
now, it's pulling u down

MW3 requires a minimum of AMD 2.7GHz < a X2 215 i guess or the oldie X2 5200+

that 430GT is gud already..if u don't like it

that wud be a great Christmas gift..so pack it already and upgrade ur VC

i just hope ur 4GB is DDR3

[inc-pankz]

pila diay ang budget ana nyung ge hisgotan?

Sir, unsay difference sa mobo nga DDR2/DDR3 ug sa DDR3 only? Medyo naglibog sad ko ani... uu sir, oldie jud pero gikan raman ni trade sa usa ka istoryan. Well, this weakling PC of mine, helped a lot. Nag coincide jud cya kay na timingan nag home-base nako ron. hehehe..

Pariha jud tag huna-huna sir... mobo, procie ug ram jud pero sa AMD side lang ko naka huna2x gud wala sa Intel because at first I was thinking AMD is really good especially on gaming pero gaming alone raman diay cya nindot. My thoughts were wrong. Second, medyo kaya ang AMD in-terms sa budget. Wala kaau ko nag huna2x sa quality, I went wrong again...

I should had bought first these three handware kaysa akong bag-o karon nga LED monitor but I need to buy kay ma old 1998 monitor, magsakit na akong mata and I can't concentrate kung mag teach ko online. That is why I had to buy the item.

Advice ug nindot nga mobo sir, kay kung ka uyon ko, aw.. d ko mag duha2x ug palit since you are the expert!

[butitoy]

unsay mobo model nimo?

para mahibaw-an nato unsa nga DDR type u have?

[stufguy]

Karon? Mao ni sya sir.. Asus M2N68-AM SE2 VSL DDR2/PCIE

I went to Gaisano Interpace last week. Nag ask2x rasad ko sa mga taw didto. Klasi2x raman sad brand o model o unsa pana didto. But some said, nga nindot daw ang gigabyte. naa say nag ingon ASUS sad daw sir. dili man sad ko swito aning mga butanga mao ask nalang sad ko sa imong nahibaw-an.

As long as ngilngig sir nya mo range lang sa 3-4k tingali... Unsa may ma sulti bahin ani sir?

[KH0UJ]

If you prefer the X6, I think your mobo can still support it, but watch out for the TDP lang ma`am kay murag kusog2x na ni muka-on ug kuryente, also check your PSU and case airflow kay medyo mu-init2x na gyud na basta mag X6 na ka...

[Sempron Guy]

I saw this results and in my opinion murag lakas man cguro ang Phenom II x6 kay sa i5-2600. I could be wrong or anything you know, di kaau ko swito, just a newbie here Could you tell me guys some important reasons on why you want me to choose i5 rather than phenom II? Can you establish a valid reason on why I should prefer i5 rather phenom II? Don't include the price, ako na bahala ana... I just want to clarify things and dili kaya ang i7, so kani lang jud.

Here's some results:

2 out of 3 daug man ang i5-2500, napildi pa jud did2 na sa part nga mu-utilize na sa tanang core

Pero, those aside let me ask you this, will you be running SiSoft Sandra Benchmark all the time? Di man pud siguro? So irrelevant ang score. You want real world scenario results? Adto anandtech, cpu bench.
