Awesome! My PC is AMD Phenom II 840T 2.9GHX x4/6gb ddr3 ram/1tb hhd/ati radeon hd 4200. That plays JA at about 100fps with settings on high. My other PC is Pentium 4 2.8ghz (single-core) /2gb ddr ram/ 320gb hhd/Nvidia Geforce 8400gs PCI (not pciE). That plays at about 15 fps with settings on high. What type of fps are you getting?

Good shit. Just out of curiosity, why'd you choose AMD over Intel?

 

I chose AMD Over Intel for the Price point for the amount of ghz I was getting, I only paid 130 for the CPU and OC'd it myself to 4.0 GHZ

 

Total Cost of Build:

 

Best Buy Price for similar specs

Because if it is not for brave people like him AMD will never be able to make their come back. As AMD processors used to be tops for gaming.

 

The only Intel I would consider even now is an i5-2500k. AMD is still the best bang for your buck, aside from the previously mentioned CPU, especially when you're not a heavy overclocker. =S

Very nice, I just built a computer myself. I'm an intel fanboy so here's my build:

 

Biostar z68 chipset

Intel core i5-2500k

16gb of ddr3 sdram G.Skills brand with 9-9-9-24 timings

nVidia gtx 560-ti superclocked

500gb SATA 6.0 gb/s seagate barracuda HDD

600W OCZ modular power supply

In a cooler master HAF full case with 3 230mm fans and 1-180mm fan (red LED -.-)

 

 

I actually considered getting your case odium lol.

I was just forced to rebuild mine. I also happen to be a fan of Intel, however I've started to get away from ASUS, after the disaster of their last motherboard.

 

My old specs were

Cooler Master HAF 932

ASUS Sabertooth X58 Motherboard

Intel Core i7-950 clocked to 3.6GHz

12GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600MHz

Nvidia GTX 560 Ti (940MHz overclocked)

120GB OCZ Vertex 2

1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3

Corsair HX750 Modular power supply

Corsair H60 CPU Cooler

 

New specs are

Cooler Master HAF 932

EVGA Z68 SLI 130-SB-E685-KR LGA 1155 Motherboard

Intel Core i7-2600k clocked to 4.4GHz

8GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz

Nvidia GTX 580 (1.5GB version)

Everything else below this point is the same
