The i5? Do you mean with the 7770? Thats easy enough to do. Just get cheaper case and you probably can find a cheaper HDD around also. HardOCP determined the 7770 to have the same playability experience as a GTX 560 Ti. The performance isn't as good, but its a decent card. Especially if you are running a resolution lower than 1920x1080. |
How about this, If you plan to build a budget rig for gaming and only gaming( no rendering, video editing or fraps) get the i3. If you do plan to do those things get the phenom. I personally like using fraps and editing the videos i capture, i also work on a couple mods and such that need good multicore support. Thats why i say the phenom is better FOR ME not everyone
