Title: System Review? Pros/Cons?
Post by: lightlord on May 04, 2012, 04:42:23 AM
Though I am curious, what is the bottle neck for my system?
I know Intel is Superior to amd, the bulldozer series was a disappointment.
And I feel bad for going with amd FX 8150. Even though its worse,
And I heard my motherboard has flaws. Which Cpu + motherboard disappointment makes me go :(

*Quote: It's a 4+1 phase that is heatsinked and rated for 125w processors.
In my opinion i'd avoid it for anything but 95w processors that ARE NOT OVERCLOCKED

It still can do all the latest games?
If I were to pick an upgrade for this current system, what would
be the bottle neck in this system?
And what upgrade would you recommend?

I thing no game will run, maybe just bomberman, tetris and games like that.
You need a i7-3960X and least 32Gb of Ram, min 4x 7970.  :P

Your AMD System above will do games smoth and well, dont be foolish about.

If you are playing on a single monitor that should handle anything. Some games may only use one core of your CPU but I can't imagine that you'd have any problems.
