Tjj226_Angel Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 no it's my cousin's...he asked me to post it to see what you guys think...I've got an E8400 @4.1Ghz DDR2....but would like to upgrade wait for ivy bridge and the kepler graphics cards. The 7950 is just a freaking joke in price. The GTX 760ti is reported to be 350 USD. Otherwise, yes, the i5 2500K and a good solid Asus board and some good corsair or mushkin ram and you should be all set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

medbor Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 why are you looking at a 3 year old system to replace your 3 year old system? i would be much wiser to be looking into a 1155 socket system if you are buying new stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheGamer11 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 How is the 7950 a freaking joke? When nVidia does it nobody complains... at least AMD has a chance at getting more money to put into more development... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 ^ Actually its nothing bad timing of release by AMD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) 7950 is better performance for price than 7970 and 580. 7950 is better performance than 580 7970 is better performance than 7950 but I am really not seeing why it has a premium so much higher than the 7950 Prices of both suck in aus but the 7950 I would want is $200 cheaper than the counterpart 7970 I looked at. Now I need time and waterblocks to be released. Cf 7950 for $1100 + 300 waterblock vs single 7950 for $750 + 150 waterblock I will more happily pay the 1400 than the 900 and just ditch the SSD that was going to go in my laptop. Edit: wrong thread, stupid phone tiered eyes Although the point of comparison between 7950 and 7970 remains the 7970 for its current performance boost warrants at best imho a $50-60 increase on the 7950. Not the 100 or so in the states and the sometimes 200 plus in other countries. Edited January 31, 2012 by Stonerboy779 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
