If our looking to buy a Phenom, get the Phenom II x4s..

Quad core processor, supports DDR3, and 95W compared to the other 125W model.

It comes with a computer i customized + can't afford any more then £340, and it's write on my budget so i just wanted to know if its a good CPU.

I suggest intel, AMD is ok. But I have had better results with intel. If you want some good intel processors let me know =)

 

EDIT: 340.00 EUR = 504.638 USD

 

If that is correct, then I can build you a pretty good system =p.

Im sure about intel because they put there processors to the Max, so there more unreliable in the long time, but AMD are more reliable because they don't max them out. Hmm... I don't know

 

Maybe if you could help me design a PC under £340/£350 i might go with Intel? And i love AMD because my first computer had an AMD processor

 

Yeh, that price seems write, but in pound i could stretch to 360 euros~

 

Plus, all im looking for is the tower, no need for a monitor, speakers, keyboard etc...

Alright, I will make a build for you later today!

kwl, ty man

hey tweezy, from my experience i had a AMD Phenom X3 8650 in my old build and i later upgraded to the Phenom x4 but both of those processors rocked. Obviously the quad core is way better than the AMD Phenom X3, but for your build your better going with the x3.

 

i dont know what Allan will show u with his build (he might have a decent deal) but if you stick with the build u intended originally and add 2 gigs of ram you wont regret it.

[Tweezy]

Awesome, cheers man!! Ill see what Allan has, then ill make my decision

 

Thanks for your comments guys!

I'm curious aswell what allan made. I'm also looking to build up a computer but with a slighter higher budget.
