Gonna get something as its payday... but i cant decide what... so vote pplz... new 24in Samsung monitor, or AMD x6 1090T 3.2 CPU?
Current specs = 20in samsung 2ms lcd monitor and AMD x2 240 2.8ghz CPU.
Whats your current spec Then we can tell you what's worth it
Im going to say screen though, unless you've got a crappy cpu buecause you'll notice the screen more
I personally want an AMD Phenom x6 II 1055T (2.8ghz although it's stable to over 4Ghz) And a 24" LG lol

Looks awesome dude
Also just saying.. a 1055T is the same but at a lower clock speed (I think Might want to look it up though) and is still overclockable to 4.0ghz and is £30 less So if you're looking to save money (Like me) ...

yeah the 1055T and the 1090T have pretty much the same specs just different clock speed, but it has to do with the internal memory clock controller having a higher default clock speed on the 1090T due to the higher core clock, thus being able to run faster than the 1055 but at the same temps for the size of die. Thats why im leaning to the 1090T, MORE potential and a stock clock of 3.2ghz. ive seen them at 4.5 on air running only at 105f under full load with a coolermaster V8. trust me, ive done my research... i tend to keep up with computers ever closer than i keep up with cellphones... and im ALWAYS on top of that ****e
besides ill just get a 1090t next paycheck
Oh okay lol Well.. then yeah the 1090T... I cant afford that though soo.
I've not really done much with PC's only been on Amazon looking for components which I still have to buy

So I'm working on my new computer, and I need help! I'm looking into bulldozer, but it keeps getting delayed. I feel like we may be seeing i9 before Bulldozer.
I'm looking for good performance, for a little bit less.

Well if i7 is out of your budget an AMD Phenom II x6 is real cheap right now with bulldozer around the corner (This is what I currently have).
I honestly would wait for bulldozer so you aren't feeling buyers remorse once it comes out. I highly doubt you will be able to afford ivy bridge if you can't afford i7. Intel is soo pricey.
if ur budget is less than 500$ than amd if more than that move to intel..

Amd. Will not buy intel.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
had you asked this question 2-3 years ago I would have said Amd hands down. On-die memory controller used to make all the difference. Now that Intel has on-die memory controllers with their core i3/5/7 line, Amd is definitely lagging behind in performance. I'd still recomend a black edition phenom II x4 or x6 for someone who loves to tweak and game out, but if you've got the cash, Intel sure seems to be the ring leader lately.
I had a 9550 BE phenom I, in a nice desktop system, ran it at 3ghz stable, was a fast box. Was given an hp dv6-3050ca which has an i5 in it, with the fancy on die memory controller and video acceleration. Wow was I EVER impressed at the progress intel has made, I even managed to run fallout new vegas at 15-20fps on low settings on this thing. We're talking intel graphics here, integrated. They've made leaps and bounds in the past few years. I currently have a Core i7 720qm sitting in a asus g73jh; I'd say it has a bit of a low clock speed with all 4 cores engaged, but with 8 threads, what's the difference. Takes a Phenom II x6 to match the same level of performance. Though either can be had new for about the same price.
Intel i7's are pricey as all hell, and unless you've got cash to dump and are looking for extreme performance, you'll probably be more than happy with an Amd. If you're looking to game matching up a nice Amd/Ati motherboard with an Ati video card, really does wonders in terms of compatibility, I've built a few myself and they were painless builds. Intels tend to be more efficient, expecially in the mobile arena. There's something sexy about a 140W cpu though, and that's where the phenom II line shines, they chew up power like nazi's chew up amphetamines, and they chew through like raped apes.
All in all amd is a good start/middleroad for the money, but for true high end power, or mobile efficiency stick to intel. I've noticed a trend across all cpu manufacturers, the more on die cache, the better. 2mb extra cache is worth more than 600mhz, imho.

I think the biggest problem of AMD is compatibility. Usually They don't work truely in some Linux Distros.
Pure preference. What's your budget?
Hmmm, sounds like i5 it is. Thanks guys!

one more thing, AMD heats fast. it can cook your PC within 8 hours
I'm gonna get a macbook pro, keep in mind i will be selling my desktop pc and the mac will be my main device,i'll take it to the institute, etc i'm going start a graphic design course soon and naturally i will be usiong, corel, photoshop, and i suppose a little of video editing .
I plan on getting the 15" model, the 13" is a little small for my taste and the 17" model is off the budget and also i think it enters desktop territory ( is too big for a laptop) .
I've got a couple of doubts:
1.AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5 vs AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5 ? i know 1 gb sounds a lot better, but ive been told it only matters if im going to play videogames at large resolutions aka 1920x 1200
2.750GB 5400-rpm hdd vs 500GB 7200 rpm hdd , i already have an external 2 tb hard drive so i might be able to sacrifice the extra 250 gb for the increased speed, but does the 7200 hdd makes the mac run considerably hotter?
3.Choosing the 1680x1050 display over the standard 1440x900 is a no brainer, i wish there was a 1920x 1200 display instead but how is the Antiglare Widescreen Display worth the extra 150 $ ? how do they achieve the antiglare? won't the colors look dull or over satured?
I wish i could give you some good answers, but that's not the case, but i would go for the one with 1GB GDDR5, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD and of course the 1680x1050 display.
Regarding the GPU, won't it be better with the 1GB if you're going to edit videos?
1) 256 mb should be fine if you're not gaming
2) 7200 rpm will be faster and seeing as you have the external you may aswell, but it could be louder and it will not get too hot AFAIK
3) better display obv antiglare doesn't make image bad and it. Looks nice but imo its not wow like the glossy, professionals seem to prefer matte, maybe go down to the nearest apple store?

Mainly CPU is used.. but some software can be aided by gpu.. however I'm not sure. If you'll notice much difference also op.. just checking are you going for quad i7, if not.. I'd reccomed more than the gpu

Searching online, looks there's a lot of divided opinions in the glossy vs matte subject, gonna have to check it out in person, naturally
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any knowledge / opinions regarding graphics cards. I'm tossing up weather to buy an Asus GTX 560Ti TOP as they seem to be fantastic for the price point ATM..... or wait for the new nVidia chipset release? Any ideas !?
How is the rest of your system looking? It might be a bit of an overkill, i would go with the GTX560 of 580, It should be ok for the next 2 years. Are you a hardcore gamer?
Hey mate, I'm not really a hard-core gamer but i figure for the price point i might as well go for it, plus a little bit of headroom would be nice.

8GB G-Skill DDR3 18600

The 560 will give you some headroom too. And later down tbe road when prices drop on the Kepler drop you can upgrade to that one. Are you an overclocker? Squeeze a bit more out of the 2600k and 560 and you wont notice any real-life performance difference from the Kepler.
If Kepler flops like what I'm hearing I'll be pee'd off as I'm hoping for a price war at the high end so I can upgrade my GTX580.

Then you can sell your GTX580 to the OP since he isnt a hardcore gamer and everybody is happy. Solution found! Damn, I'm good. Lol.
I dont know if I would purchase such a high end video card the second it came out. I would wait like 5 months or until a second revision of the product so they can work out bugs with drivers or even with the manufacturing process.
Not to change the direction or anything but have you taken a look over at AMD? i use both products and the 7000 series is pretty good not to mention its latest and greatest 7990 6GB GDDR5 lol way too much ($800). but anyways....
I use the AMD XFX HD 6770 and need to upgrade but if Nvidia is what your looking at you might want to get the GTX 570?

Well it depends on what works best if you have intel Nvidia works best plus the processor speed too etc.....
680 GTX i tested a beta board for 2 weeks.
No issue's.. just damn power hungry.
I would suggest... once they revise and prices have dropped.
Else.. radeon makes some OP cards as well.
Memory
But basically aim for a 2GB Gddr5 card.. ^_^
Bus Width
Always check the bus width.. the wider the better. ^-^ 128 bit cards mostly suck. 256bit and upward are Can be OP cards..
Core clock speeds..
idk.. depend on manufacturer revision.. Higher clocks are almost always better.
Some cards like nvidia have shader and cuda engines... the may have separate clocks..
If you find a card you like... google it and see how it stacks up.. there are many sites will to provide info. ^_^
Good luck guy.
I disagree with the post above nvdia usually generate a lot less heat compare to amd and the definitely generate a lot less power.
In my opinion the best graphic card suited for the operator is hd6950 because of the price point and you can flash the bios to hd 6970 make it one of the best bang for buck .

If he is just running the the single hard drive and perhaps a low-mid range gaming card that PSU will work fine. When you start adding more drives and high power hungry gaming cards then yes he would need to move up to a higher dual rail PSU.

Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I ask is because these are the parts I purchased to rebuild the family computer. Well I plugged everything in and the fans spun and everything but I got no video signal on my monitor. I tried with a discrete graphics card and with every possible input on the mobo but still no video signal. I RMA'd as defective but I wanted to make sure I didn't make a dumb mistake when something was incompatible.

Before even installing the discrete graphics card I did try connecting my monitor straight to the mobo, with VGA, DVI, and HDMI but nothing ever worked and it was then when I decided I would try the graphics card to see if I could get legacy video support but nothing.
