A few quick PC questions
#1

Hey,

Before starting, I want to say I know there are many threads created just like mine. However, I'm not very smart when it comes to computer specifications and would like answers specific to the parts I'm asking. I don't want to make the assumption because another part that someone asked about on this forum may apply to my situation, and end up making the wrong decision. Also please recognize I have researched a lot of information before coming here and asking, but nothing is part-specific. I'm hoping someone here will have had experience with those parts or actually truly knows what they're speaking of.

So, I'm planning on spoiling myself and buying a gaming computer for Christmas. This would be from CyberPowerPC (www.cyberpowerpc.com), as I've gotten a lot of great reviews from people from them, they have some of the cheapest prices I've seen, and I don't want to assemble my own (as most likely something will go wrong). They allow multiple different configuration options, which makes me wonder why some things are working out the way they are. Hopefully some of you can answer the below questions:
  • On the website there is a FPS counter, which takes two games (Modern Warfare 2 and another) and tests the configuration that you have selected. When you select the new AMD FX processors, even the 6 and 8 core, it shows worse results than that from the AMD Phenom II Quad. Does anyone have an explanation?
  • I'm trying to decide whether or not to get the AMD Phenom II Quad or AMD Phenom II six-core. Could anyone explain how much more performance would be expressed gaming wise as well as how future proof the quad-core would be?
  • I'm trying to decide whether to get a single AMD Radeon HD 6750 1 GB GDDR5, or two AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR3. Which would get more performance? How future proof would it be?
So basically, this is the basic build of what I'm looking to get. If you could tell me whether or not it would be good enough for AT LEAST 3 more years of high-end games, that would be great. As well as which parts to update (whether shown in the list or not).
Код:
Motherboard: GigaByte GA-970A-D3 AMD 970 Socket AM3+
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition (AMD Phenom II x6 1000T)
Memory: 2x4GB (8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Dual-Channel Corsair XMS Gaming Memory
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6750 1 GB GDDR5 (2x AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR3)
Power Supply: 800 Watts - XtremeGear Gaming Power Supply - Quad SLI Ready

- This is all I think relevant for what I'm asking. If more parts are needed, tell me
In conclusion, I'm wondering if these specifications (which you can give input on as well) are future-proof enough for at least 3 more years and are capable of running higher-end games (as well as recording) at a relatively high FPS with high resolution. If these specifications are not enough, or you have some type of input regarding anything, please do so.

Thanks!
