Hello,
I am stuck between deciding which processor to base a new-build PC. It's been a while since I've built a new PC from scratch. I would like to be able to do video editing, encoding and perhaps some web development.
A colleague is recommending the AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965. A friend has recently built an Intel system.
I have generally preferred Intel in the past and if I went down the Intel route, I would probably go for the Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz.
If I went for an Intel i7 system, I would go for 6GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM. If I went for the AMD system, I would probably go for 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 RAM.
I will most likely go for the ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics card whichever system I end up building.
Thanks for your advice.
