That right there is the biggest statement, and the best reason to go with the i-series core.
Also, have you considered an AMD X4? You can get a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition @ 3.4GHz for about $40 US cheaper than the i7 920, even though the i7 920 is a little faster in most things, though not necessarily most games. Also it looks like most people can hit 4+ Ghz on this CPU with out much effort. You can also get 4GB of DDR2 for 20% cheaper than 3 GB of DDR3.
Pair it with an ATi Video card and you'll save some pretty good money, and the performance will be much better than any Intel/Nivida system at the same price point. |
