según veo los i7 a comparacion de los i5 no tienen mucha diferencia en juegos ya que las diferencias que tiene no sacan beneficio los juegos, como ves?

crees que la 670 e mi mejor opcion? de la gama 700 no

No, no hay demasiada diferencia entre el i5 y el i7 en juegos.

No, realmente la 760 está bien y la 770 se dispara de precio claro que también rinde lo suyo; lo bueno es que hay algunas ofertas para liquidar las 6xx si das con una sería lo más interesante. Mas o menos 660ti<760<670<680<770, se rumorea con la 760ti que sería algo intermedio entre la 760 y la 770.

Y en ATI tienes las 7950 y 7970 que están bastante bien.

@Obione esos vicios malsanos :ugly: los RPG siempre dando por saco con las optimizaciones.

we already have everything clearer, now what do you think about the motherboard? someone told me that I could use my Zalman on a specific motherboard for an i5? is that possible? or would I have to buy a cooler?

and the last question, the RAM? what do I have to consider? I remember something about speed and latency, but I can't remember, what brand is good?

Obione

Corsair, Patriot or Kingston are good for RAM, the motherboards on which you can mount your cooler are the ASRock ones but, if you go for a 3570K it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy a quality cooler or even a liquid cooling kit.

ok, that cooler worked well for me on my E8400 so if I choose the z77 extreme4 will it be fine?

I almost have the new set ready thanks

The RAM is the usual amount, speed and latency (which really don't matter much lately); from brands like Corsair, GSkill… Or you have the bracket for that socket there (it's the same in all models of boards) or you'll have to buy the bracket (if it exists,?) or a new heatsink. PD. Are all Asrock ones that have holes for the 775?, I couldn't remember.

is it better to have one 8gb ram module or two 4gb ones? or does it only matter for expansion and convenience?

@eltoffer:

is 8gb of ram better than two 4gb modules? or does it only matter for expansion and convenience?

if you install two identical modules you get dual channel (in sockets 1/3 2/4) if not, you only get single channel.
in short, if you install an 8 GB module you will have 8 Gb in single channel, if you install two 4 Gb (and you install them in slots 1/3 or 2/4) you will have dual channel (which is better) the difference is that if you install 4 Gb modules and you expand the ram in the future you can have a maximum of 16 GB and if you install one 8 Gb and you expand you will have 16 GB expandable to 32 GB (which is unnecessary for normal use, nowadays)
regards
P.D if the PC is for gaming buy two identical 4GB modules
