Desktop vs Laptop i3/i5 dual core vs i5/i7 quad core nvidia card dual channel vs triple channel ram SSD vs Raptor vs 7200 CRT vs 120hz LCD PS - Macs suck for gaming

gts250 blows, and 460 must be 1gb because 768mb blows forget about socket 1366 which will be dieing as soon as intel releases socket 2011 for sandy bridge (thanks for the 10 sockets you left behind faggots), go for the 1156 which will probably last a bit longer and is overall less expensive or you can go on am3, the phenom II X6 offer tremendous price/performance value, they are really futureproof and you can build a great rig for cheap for the hard drive you might wanna get a sata 3.0 6gb/s hard drive (western digital caviar black 1tb 64mb/sata3.0 is a complete rape, got it and it owns) and if you can afford it, get a good ssd for your system which will go alot faster, but that means to be mandatory using windows 7 which is the only os to support trim (that will make your ssd performances last over time and not become shitty after 3 monthes) for the psu, a 650/750W will be WAY MORE than enough even for a crossfire/sli, make sure to pick a good brand (corsair, fractal, antec, seasonic, enermax, cooler master, thermaltake - not some shitty unknown chinese shit that will burn your computer after 1 week like advance, lc power, heden or whatever), 80 plus is a must have, you will be sure to have a good and reliable psu and you will save money on your electricity bill and finally you may consider modular power supplies since they will prevent your case from being a clusterfuck of cables for the case pick the one you like the most, they depend on your budget, if you can afford some big tower top quality cases (atcs 840, 800d, lian li cases) they are truely awesome, if you can't go for the lower price range and look at antec, cooler master and thermaltake cases pick a big enough case to have space for the airflow and your graphic card length, and make sure to have good cable management possibilities and get at least 5 fans in it (generally 2x 120/140mm front, 1x 120/140mm back, 1x 120/140mm bottom and 1/2x 120/140mm top) finally for the cooling if you can afford it go for the noctua dh-14 which just RAPES any aircooling that exists, or go for the h50, a simple watercooling loop made by corsair which gives super good temperatures and silence and equals the performances of a great aircooling ofc you can go for a custom watercooling for your entire pc, but that costs hell of alot

this wasnt for me, in his post he said core i5/i7 and he also said nvidia graphics card, thats the only reason i went with those. personally i would get an amd phenom II also along with a 5850 / 5870. plus i did this at like 6 - 7am without getting any sleep for like 2 days so yeah  its all cool.

- desktop (upgrades, price, longevity) - quad core, forget dual cores nowadays - performance difference between dual and triple is very low, doesn't justify -the fact of getting on 1366 which will die soon anyways - ssd is way better than raptors, and i as i previously said some 7k2 sata 6gb/s are really good - lcd 120hz if you can afford it, in terms of performance crt is still better but the comfort of an lcd is really superior
