What Hardware Are You Running?

The $300 i7-3770 tops the AMD-FX 8350 processor almost every time.

Go a few steps higher to the i7 Extreme, and you end up with the fastest processor in the market. Unless your an enthusiast, you probably won't even need that kind of speed.

On the other hand, the FX 8350 is only $190 here in the U.S.

Ofc it's better, I mean... can't you see the GTX Titan SLI ?

 

i'll need to sell some body parts to afford some of these, thanks for the info guys !

 

Lmao thats epic

 

NEO would be proud to have that monster
I love taht double power supply and awesome ide cables


Remaind me how much time used for connect or unplugg that from my motherboard |

 

UPDATE: sold the imac eventually, i have bought a thermaltake gt10 full tower case.

next parts i will be buying is a motherboard + cpu kit but im undecided.

Which out of these two is better for value and performance:
