Buying new PC.

[Omar]

Okay, so I have 4000 DKK as a budget and I'm buying my shit in a month.

I'm planning to buy this

 

- Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-750 2,66GHz, Socket LGA1156, 8MB, Boxed

- Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3, P55, Socket-1156 4xDDR3, ATX, GbLAN, 4phase power, PCI-Ex(2.0)x16

- Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 4GB KIT, CL9, Kit w/two matched DDR3 2GB, 240pin

- Gainward GeForce GTX 260 896MB PhysX

 

 

Is the G card compatible with the above 3?

Don't worry about Hard drive, hard disk and cabinet, keyboard, mouse, monitor etc etc

It should be fine, make sure the Socket on your MOBO is the same as the CPU.

It should be, since the first three is in one package. (it's an offer, wich means if you buy them seperately it wouldn't be cheaper)

[ReGIONALS]

the gpu is compatible

[Omar]

Okay, I'v changed my mind on the G card, I've decided to buy this.

PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

but It's PCI Express 2.1 x16

and my mobo is PCI-Ex(2.0)x16

 

Double you tee eff?

 

See if you can understand Danish, but dw, it's easy since it's PC language

PCIe 2.0, 1.1, 2.1, etc. are all backwards compatible. Only downfall is bottlenecking of the older generation PCIe slots. A 1.1 PCIe lane will bottleneck a 2.0 and 2.1 card, 2.0 PCIe lane will bottleneck a 2.1 card, and so on and so forth. But it's only theoretical. The truth is that the bottleneck is usually negligible, unless you have like a GTX295 in a 1.0 PCIe lane or something.

Should i buy PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 or

Gainward GeForce GTX 260 896MB PhysX

I'm looking for the best gaming G-card fitting to my i5 quad 2,66

[Akaru]

From what I know, the 5770 is better than the GTX 260. You can always wait it out and get a G300 card.

[Omar]

G300?

 

Is that better than GTX 295?

[ReGIONALS]

G300 is the next nvidia series like GTX360 etc. its gonna be alot more expensive than the newer ati card which is 5XXX series like what your asking about

once the G300 series comes out expect a nice price drop on ati cards.

but if i had to say go with the 5770 or im selling my 4870x2 to try and get the new ati cards.

4870x2 has a a bit more or = power than a 5870 or two 5770's in crossfire

ill sell you my 4870x2 for 300$ if you feel interested
