So the budget increased Go with the g.skill memory that Agent linked to, nothing wrong with the Corsair but the g.skill is better and cheaper.
Doesn't it always?:grin:,but I'll go with the G.Skill it's what I have now and can't complain been rock solid.
One more question,I haven't been keeping up that much on the new i5's,so what's the difference between the 2500 and the 2500k?
"K" series have unlocked multiplier, so you can overclock them. CPUs without "K" can only be overclocked by changing base clock, which makes them unstable even after a little change. Basically, if you want to OC, you must purchase "K" series CPU.
Ok,that's what I thought thanks,I'm bored this morning so I was browsing through Craigslist and came across this :http://appleton.craigslist.org/sys/2786956091.html Any opinions?
Foxconn makes so many different PC components, I'm sure your ASUS board is sporting something made by them. Many people think that only Apple uses them (in the news all the time i.e. slave labor), but this isn't the case. Foxconn is HUGE in China and the world.
No I wouldn't buy computer parts from craigslist and this guy is prob selling his stuff to build an intel rig. If your trying to stick to that price go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186220 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115077 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428 Brand new parts and in games the intel rig will be faster. Also, you have a upgrade path to Ivy Bridge if/when needed. Most people agree right now for budget performance it is increasingly hard to recommend AMD. Sad but true.
