I’m looking at buying a new computer. Technology in Taiwan seems “so so”, in terms that it is kind of cheap in one sense, but then again it is also kind of expensive. I’ve been specifically looking for a new processor and the Intel Core i5 seems a suitable choice though I was thinking of buying a Phenom x 6 core CPU. However I think I will get a higher clock speed out of the Intel Core i5. An i7 would be great in an ideal world, where I could afford it and where I could utilize its full potential, but I don’t play that many graphic intense games nor do I use my computer for high intensive usage. I just want to get away from my Pentium D Dual core (OC) at 3.0Ghz which I find at the moment is lacking in terms of speed when running things such as photoshop or using my browser with around 15 tabs open in Google Chrome.
I’ve also been looking at a few graphics card. I’m not sure whether I should go with Radeon or nVidia. But I have been specifically looking at the GTS250 Lantic. Lantic states they have clocked the card to work 10.6% faster and more efficiently than the stock GTS250 and it seems this card also narrowly in stock condition outperforms the 9800GT however Lanctic states that it is considerably faster and more efficient with their handy work towards this modified card. Though I did state that I’m looking at Radeon cards, they are a bit more pricier, especially if you want a decent one. But after thorough research via the use of benchmarks on websites and peoples reviews, I will getting the Lantic GTS250.
Will post pictures of my new build, when built.
