dr_bowtie Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 As of today I said good-bye to my Intel rig.... Other than the HP-mini Atom netbook and Asus ION Atom HTPC I don't have an Intel rig.... Somebody wanted my ECS P55 and i7-860 a little more than I did so I shipped it off to its new owner.... I havent built myself a rig in 3-4 years so I think I am due.... I am leaning towards a Z77 and a 3770k CPU......and maybe a new video card Strongly looking at the Gigabyte Z77-UD5H board..... Just thought I'd get that off my chest...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUZi0N Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Awesome, I think it's time for me to get back with intel. I've gotta say I was more satisfied with my old P35 E8400 combo I had prior to the rig in my sig. Time to spend some tax money haha..

dr_bowtie Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 All the rigs here are AMD.... there is currently 10 in service... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbaxm2 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Only 10? That means one of the kids is wothout one! I am honestly glad that I made the switch a few years back to intel, not that I wouldn't go AMD again though if I saw something really shiney at the right price lol.

Fragsman Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I dunno. I have always used intel, except for my laptop. I wanted to keep it cool and is 500x hotter than my father i5. Plus, mine is an AMD Athlon x2. Is an old machine but I bought because it was really a good gooooooooooood offer. I bought it in 2008 with 4gb RAM!!

DanTheGamer11 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 You should go AMD :3 I'M NOT SPONSORED OR ANYTHING :DDD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 For someone that is going to build their own rig it is hard to suggest AMD right now except for a pure budget build. The i5, especially if you live near a microcenter is a much more attractive chip currently. Now I can say I would not get an i3, if I had to budget that much I would get an APU or an FX 4000 series. However as you move up the cost AMD does suffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 As we've discussed before I think you'll really like the Gigabyte Z77 UD5H board. It's a nifty piece of hardware. So many little tweaks and improvements over the Gigabyte Z68 boards. GB did a great job of going back in and polishing off some of the things that were lacking on the Z68 UD4/UD5 series boards.

DanTheGamer11 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Can you wait till Haswell launches? I assume the components will be cheaper. Shame Steamroller doesn't come out earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
