December 30, 200916 yr Hey,I'm soon getting a new computer, these are the specs:CPU: Intel Core i7 920 (2.66GHz)/8MB/4.8GT QPIRAM: Geil 3GB Kit (3x1GB) 1333MHz DDR3Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD5770 1GB Power Supply: Antec 650W PSUHard Disk: Western Digital 1TB, Caviar Black, SATA-II, 7200RPM, 32MB Cache Case (If this helps?): CoolerMaster CM 690, Black, ATX, 2 x USB2.0, Tool-free drive bays What will i be able to rune the Graphic settings on, and still have it running fairly smooth?Will I be able to record videos on it, with it running smooth?Thanks, I really hope it runs well, I've been stuck with a 6Yr old Computer! Suprisingly i got it to run, but it was skipping around. And it took about 7 tries :(
December 30, 200916 yr Commercial Member Looks like a nice system - I have a very similar one with a AsRock P55 extreme. Make sure you OC that CPU to 4gig at least. (it was designed for it)Have Funjja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
December 30, 200916 yr Haha, thanks. I changed it because i was looking at the wrong one!! But these spec's are better, so, im guessing it'll run good.Even though i got one Reply, another one would help. Just to confirm :)
December 30, 200916 yr Commercial Member Buy the 860 P55. It will save you a bundle and will run much cooler (no FSB) Guys that bought the 920 are wishing that they waited. Unless you want to run SLI.jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
December 30, 200916 yr Thanks for the information,But it's not me who's buying it. My Dad is :( And i only know the basics, so... Tell me this:Whats the difference in game-play from 860 P55 and 920?Thanks. ;)
December 31, 200916 yr Commercial Member Its all about Turbo Boost. Also, when I boot up my system for the first time, I select a Bios option and then I'm cranking at 4ghz, and the CPU is at about 95 degrees.Can't say on the game play except that I'm big on stability and this system just feels right.jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist

You should be under 80c and you should be able to acheive it on air with a decent cooler.
