18-19.5k for CPU+MoBo+RAM is much more than "little low" buddy!!
Since you say its for gaming :
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - 10k
MSI 880GMA E45 - 5.4k
Kingston 2GB DDR3 RAM 1333MHz - 1.7k

BTW which GPU & PSU do you have?

And how is AMD X61090t against I5 760 ?

as far as gaming is concerned the i5 760 is a very good proccy..it beats the hell out of the 965 and also performs neck to neck with 1090t..if the system is for gaming only go for i5 760

Nov 20, 2010 at 9:12 PM
yup i5 760 is better. 1090t is at 14k.

Intel Core i5 760 @ 9.8k
Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H @ 5.7k
G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Ripjaws CL7 @ 4.7k

Total - 20.2k

My dealer give me AMD X6 1090t price 12.5k :twisted:

And which is better G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Ripjaws or Corsair xmx3 1600MHZ ?
Reaper_vivek
Nov 20, 2010 at 9:27 PM
U can get the 1090t at around 11.8k at some places..the prices of the hexacores have dropped..

No idea about the corsair kit but the ripjaw kit is very good and has better latency..
Also you can go for gskill ddr3 1333 cl7 along with jas's config or mine if you want to keep ur budget around 19 k

So which one i choose i5 760 or X6 1090T?
Jaskanwar Singh
Nov 20, 2010 at 9:38 PM
i5 760 is better in gaming than 1090t also. but if you can afford 1090t i will say go for it as its a bit more futureproof.

BTW just checked SMC - 1055t @ 9.2k, 1075T @ 9.7k, 1090t @ 11.5k !!!!!
now updating the guide and tweaking the configs a bit more..tiring work!!

if no OC, the stock TIM will do. or support light OC. but if you can, get a good TIM. will have lower operating as well as idle temperature.
