That may be the case, but if the memory controller on the CPU isn't running at 1600, the RAM won't be either.

Yeah, I don't know about what the manufacturers do at that point.

And Dowps, wait like 5 min and I'll edit in a reply for you.
The i25 is the best value, but the Premium with the 3820 will be the best performer, but not by too much. I'm not sure if the additional 5000SEK is really worth it for gaming. The 3770 alone is overkill for your needs, but the other parts in the system at that price make it the best value. The 3820 does provide quad channel memory and the opportunity to upgrade to a six core CPU, but I highly doubt you would do that (another 3700SEK).

Go with the i25. Smile

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 10:44

I see, na 5000 isnt worth it, i need a new headset and mouse, keyboard to so i will spend some money on that instead, I guess i will go for the i25 if that comp can handle all the games i said on max graphics?
What do you think just a simple
Yes/no
?Biggrin

RE: New computer. - Crille - 2012-09-03 11:16

You should change the graphicscard to an aftermarket one with an other fan sulution. And the i25 doesn't have a mecanical harddrive which you will need cause 120GB of storage is nothing Tongue

Here is the GTX 670 but with a better cooling sulution: http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=751639

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 11:58

Ah, but i dont wanna change something, i just wanna buy a computer that i dont need to change something on. Lets see this one?

http://www.komplett.se/k/ci.aspx?sku=10618

How is this one?
Good or not good?

RE: New computer. - Crille - 2012-09-03 12:04

Well it sure aint worth the extra cash. + It still has the original cooler for the 670. Just call/email/chatt or whatever with komplett.se and ask them if its possible that they could just change the graphicscard and add an mechanical harddrive on the i25.

I once asked to change something on a pre-build computer, they said it would cost £70 extra for the building of the pc... I was like what........

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 12:10

Ah but look what i found,

http://www.komplett.se/k/config.aspx?ConfigSystemId=10674

There i think you can change to what u want? isnt that right or am i wrong lol.

RE: New computer. - Crille - 2012-09-03 12:13

Well there you can add a Harddrive(hårddisk) but the problem still remains with the cooler for the GTX 670. All the other 670 cards in that list also has the original Nvidia cooler on them. For a little bit more cash you can get a much better cooler on the GTX 670 and thereby get card that keeps cool much better and doesn't sound as much.

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 12:39

Ah, well i dont know what to do/say really, im a nub on computers :/

Is it THAT important?

RE: New computer. - Crille - 2012-09-03 15:15

Well it depends on the person, in this case Dowpie.

Me myself would spend a little bit more for a better coolingsulution.

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 16:14

Well tbh, i can live with that, but the problem is then the harddrive? is it really only 128gb?

If it's a hassle for him then it's not worth it.

The solid state drive is only 128GB, I didn't realize that until now..sorry. If you can get it with an additional hard drive then try to get it.

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 17:48

Ah its cool, everyone make mistakes Smile, but im looking on

http://www.komplett.se/k/ci.aspx?sku=10618

Even tho the BF3 Edition comp have 2x 660TI-Sli.
I like the chassi on the one i linked above etc so its very hard xD

RE: New computer. - FR4NOx - 2012-09-03 17:56

If I were you, then I would rather have one GTX 670 than two 660 Ti's. Probably the Gamer Premium - GTX 670 edition would be your best choice.

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 18:02

Yepp. I was thinking about to, then i guess i will take the GTX-670 Edition Smile.
Decision made xD W00t
Big thanks to all that helped me with this, really appreciate it Smile.

RE: New computer. - FR4NOx - 2012-09-03 18:05

RE: New computer. - Dowpy - 2012-09-03 18:39
