Modest computer for getting around the house

[Sylver]

I would get the Corsair source without thinking, there is no color…
For the rest, you will have a pretty good computer, even when you get tired of having it for movies you can put it on the desk and it will work as well as any other.

Sylver CX are very normal power supplies, nothing like the other Corsair ranges. Antec has models that are very reliable that you can rely on. While the HCG are not as serious as the TPN, the VP are decent power supplies with quality/price components and the most important protections (you can't ask for pears from an elm tree).

Jarman if you go for an 1155 you could get a B75 motherboard and 1333 memory that you won't notice.

Editing: Are you not convinced to get the 60 M4?

[Sylver]

I agree with you on that, of course Antec doesn't make bad power supplies and that the CX are Corsair's "modest" range, but you have to take into account that it has one more year of warranty for an insignificant price difference, I think it's worth it, besides the fact that despite being from the most basic range these power supplies are still reliable and have good reviews. If you tell me it's a Silverstone, I still see it as an interesting option, but between Corsair and Antec in that range, I personally go with Corsair. However and as we have been saying, the Antec ones are not bad power supplies at all and in this particular case given the use to which the equipment and its components are going to be destined, there will be no notable difference in choosing one or the other except for the warranty, which is also not decisive.

Hello everyone, to start I want to thank you for your patience, and ask you not to get angry with me for what follows next

I've been looking at more comparisons of this processor and it turns out it's better than any of the others I have, and I've also noticed that for watching movies and browsing either of the two would be fine (a Core 2 Duo, the 6600 @3.1 and a Phenom II x3, the 720@3.6), then I saw that for a little more money, about 100 euros I have the i5 2500k, with the motherboard that has the z68 to overclock it a bit, and with a little more ram, and I would already have a very correct computer

so the last doubts (I hope) are:
-will I need a bigger power supply? it's going to be with the Radeon 6950
-I'll try to overclock it a bit, what cooler do you recommend? is the katana 3 already very outdated? it's the one I have with the x3 and it works pretty well

that's all, once again, and sorry for my indecision
regards

With the radeon HD6950 it would be advisable in this case a 650 W power supply, of the Corsair, OCZ type. The i5 2500K is a good processor and the HD6950 is an excellent companion for this CPU.

man …. these things are not done :wall:
look at insinuating that we send you to take a sack of shit ;D
it was a joke.
well yes, the 2500k is better, more expensive that is, but it's worth it.
The power supply for now would be good for you, but for the future perhaps it would be interesting to have something more powerful (just in case you get into gaming and you get a power-hungry graphics card or an SLI). After all, a good power supply can last you more years than the rest of the equipment.
The cooler well something like this would be good (note that you have cheaper things and almost as good) you can also try the katana, which you see that it holds up, money you save ;D

For watching movies, a 2500K is more than enough... but to the point that it would be a waste to buy it just for that, realize for example that it's the one I recently bought to play games and produce sound, so you can get an idea. The price of the 2500K is around 200€.
The katana for cooling it is not a bad option, although I would put something superior. If you finally decide on the i3 (I would do it in your situation and given the use that the PC will have) the katana is great for cooling it, it is still a cool micro in itself.
If you want to put a 6950 we are talking about a powerful graphics card for gaming, it goes far beyond the line of watching movies, so you would be setting up a "gamer" computer, more than anything else. With a simpler graphics card you can go miles, however, it is not at all a bad option to buy it, but I return to the point that if it is not going to go beyond the routine of watching movies it will be a bit "wasted", but no problem, later you put it on the desktop as I mentioned and fly with it.
Getting to the point about the graphics card, just what your colleagues tell you; you will need more power supply, about 650W to be more than enough if you mount the 2500K and the 6950.

hello
Sylver, the idea I have now is to change the Phenom, which is the one that currently has the 6950 mounted, for the i5 and use the Core2Duo or the Phenom for what I was originally going to use the i3 for, browsing and watching movies, and so by investing a little more I have renewed the computer that I use for gaming
in the end I got the Corsair TX650 V2 650W, 8 Gb instead of 4 and the i5 instead of the i3 and the rest the same, the heatsink will probably get the Ninja 3 which is bulkier than the Katana
I have already ordered everything except the heatsink, so that I don't end up getting an i7 and that would really be my ruin

thanks to everyone for advising me and see you later
goodbye

[Sylver]

Ah well, being so no problem, I thought you were going to leave the i5 for movies… it would be a sin
Your plan clarified, everything perfect, you are going to have a great team. When it arrives and you assemble it, come by here and leave your impressions, and some photos if possible.

@Sylver:

Ah bueno, siendo así ningún problema, pensaba que ibas a dejar el i5 para películas… sería un pecado
Aclarado tu plan, todo perfecto, te va a quedar un equipo estupendo. Cuando te llegue y lo montes, pásate por aquí y deja tus impresiones, y unas fotos si puede ser.

Saludos

dilo menos y da ejemplo
huy perdón ;D

@Franziskaner:

say it less and give an example
oops sorry ;D
greetings

Hey, don't sneak away, I posted some photos and impressions on my birthday branch, exactly what I mentioned :D:D

[Franziskaner]

look at the crap you're posting ;D
post a proper review man

Jarman supongo que ahora no necesitas que la placa base tenga gráfica integrada ¿no?

mira que le hechas morro ;D
pon una review en condiciones tío
saludos

Ahí si tienes razón, pero tampoco soy muy diestro haciendo reviews, y luego te quejas de la calidad de las fotos
En realidad estoy esperando a hacerme con el disipador decente, para hacer la review completa

PD: Ciertamente ahora Jardan no necesita VGA integrada… la placa podría ser otra distinta mas económica.

hola otra vez

no, claro, la grafica en placa ahora ya no es necesaria, lo que pasa es que está pedida y pendiente de envío, en realidad no me importa que la placa sea algo más cara siempre que sea buena, ¿porque no es malo para el rendimiento que tenga gráfica, no?

lo que haré cuando llegue todo serán unas pruebas para la gráfica principalmente, como va a ser la misma, asi veo cuánto más rinde con el procesador nuevo, ¿hay alguna batería de benchmarks determinada que hagáis habitualmente? porque una vez metidos en harina me da igual uno que veinte, asi comparo el procesador viejo con el nuevo

hasta otra
un saludo
