yoječ Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If you don't plan to overclock your CPU, then i3-2120 would be a better choice than Phenom. Also, I couldn't find any reviews of this PSU, I'm not so sure if it's a good deal. Especially seeing as it's suspiciously cheap (600W version costs the same BTW).

Master of San Andreas Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Core I3 4GB ram. gtx680 500 gb windows 7 home 64 these are the basic 4 maxed out aswell as V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Uhm, I doubt that IV runs maxed out at a decent FPS with an i3, not to mention V would probably need a quad-core to run at the highest settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2120 does better than the Phenom, not by a whole lot but it is better, then again you can overclock the phenom, i am not sure on the 2120 if you can do it stably since it isn't a "K" edition. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-g...75t,2859-3.html Edited September 7, 2012 by finn4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) You can do a stable OC on i3-2120, but you won't achieve amazing results. +3-5% at best. Edited September 7, 2012 by yojo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
