A $330 GPU for your $135 CPU (8320E). Makes sense.
This thread is a fail. 4.3Ghz 8370E is
$119, and for
only $20 extra you get AM3 motherboard. At the same store 5820K is $299, 5930K is $499 while the cheapest i5 bundle is
$250 USD.
So let's see now, who cross-shops a $140 8370E CPU+mobo Bundle against $250 i5 CPU+mobo bundle? :sneaky:
In the real world you can take that $140 AM3 8370E bundle then overclock and beat an i3 into the ground in 90% of PC games. While at it, use the $110 saved from not getting an i5, add $20 and go from a $150 R9 280 to a
$280 R9 290X.
Apples-to-apples comparison would mean in the real world it'll be an i5 OC + R9 280 against an 8370E OC + R9 290/970/290X. Guess which system will win in 90% of PC games? The second one.
1080P is on the low end peasant side for PC gaming now.
A move to 1440P or 1600P at least would put you ahead of the console crowd and afford you alot more detail and clarity in the games you play.
No.
LG's 1080P OLED beats any LCD/LED/Plasma ever made. At 55"+OLED, this TV would smash a 27" 2560x1440 one. To imply that 1080P gaming is for "peasants" is laughable in this context. Also, if you gave me a 4K 19" PC gaming monitor, I would donate it (i.e., I don't want it for free). Just looking at resolution without considering the monitor size, the IQ, is meaningless. Try telling someone who PC games on a large 40-65" 1080P Plasma / LED that 1080P is for peasants and they'll laugh at the concept of gaming on a 24" PC gaming monitor.
What's next, you are going to tell us that watching movies on a 28" 4K monitor is more immersive than going to the movie theater?
