why would you waste money on Graphics overclocking and Windows tweaks when you could use it on a better video card?

Looks like it is $1,608 as he had it configured.
Waaaay too expensive for a Phenom system. Don't be fooled by Phenom's high sounding GHz rating, they are in every way very inferior to an i7 or even an i5 system. Hell, in the Special Deals section is a $1,671 prebuilt i7 system that is in every possible way superior to the aforementioned Phenom system you have configured. And if you are willing to spend just a little bit more, around $1,850, you can get a custom build i7 system that is even better yet and has plenty of room to grow for years. You should head over to the configuration section of the forum to ask for advise on getting an i7 computer configured around your budget and needs. The i7 systems are by far the best bang for the buck and have room to grow for years. Phenom is a dead end system. |
