Core i3 DUAL CORE, 64gb SSD, just not enough. Rest is alright

Why is 64GB not enough? It's only for the boot drive and his other most frequently used programs. But you're right about the CPU, I forgot it was dual core. He can drop the SSD if he wants and get a 2500k.


An i3-2100 is more than powerful for gaming and catches up to the 2500k in some games since games don't utilize 4 cores. An i3-2100 + SSD is a more balanced build than a 2500k + generic HDD for boot + storage.

Thanks. I thought so too, but was too lazy to look at benchmarks. I was also assuming he was doing heavy video rendering, but that is probably not the case.

Why would I include a 2TB HDD then? o_O

However, I was wrong about the HDD. You can actually get a 3.5TB Samsung Spinpoint for cheaper.

Again, a bad choice. Don't go for any FX CPU.
Hey FX is great for what he saying to be done. I have a 4100 and for the price I love it. Don't judge it till you have bought it, And if your on a $1000 budget I don't think at least an Intel i5 and a SSD will work

You don't have to buy things to judge them, especially with something like a CPU when every single aspect of it can be measured to be compared against other products. The FX series is a huge flop.

No it is not. I bought it because I was on a $500 budget and it does what it needs to do. Yes at some point I will go to an Intel, but right now they are way to expensive.

If you mention FX or AMD these nuts will go crazy.
