AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition Deneb 3.6GHz

That processor is cheaper, and a bit better as well. Atleast, i think it's better.

Also, i prefer Radeon to GeForce, but that's probably because i'm used to it.

CAN IT RUN APB:RELOADED ON MAX SETTINGS?

[Sealbreaker]

It's called a SSD (Solid state drive). Just sayin'

Sandy Bridge is a much better architecture than any AMD. If you want performance, I'd say stick with the i7.

As for the graphics card, I'd prefer and also use ATI/AMD Radeon HD series because it's more power efficient and cheaper but all of my friends said nVidia beats all.

And what Anna said is true. Seriously though if you can run APB on Max, your build is pretty beast. It's really the RAM that's a problem for me. And an outdated CPU. And also the low end GPU. I don't think there is any other game that require as much resource as APB.

@Scrooge:

> 3.4GHz

Doesn't that seem a bit excess? I mean, if it's good for the price do it, but 3.4GHz is a shit ton. My computer has 2.4 and I run Skyrim on ultra with no lag.

Not to mention it's quad cores lol.
But I think his build is pretty good as it is right now because you don't want the CPU to be bottle-neck or anything, and who know, maybe he may want another GPU for SLI in the future.

So do I on my current rig. Skyrim isn't very computer intensive. The CPU is the most important part of a PC. There's no point skimping on that.
