Got a new Desktop

Solar · 02-05-2013, 03:34 AM #1

I just got a new desktop and here are the specs:

Intel Core i7-2600 3.4 GHz(max 3.8Ghz)

8 GB Ram

AMD Radeon HD 7570

Is it good enought to play most games(especially TLOZ: Twilight Princess) at full speed?

Well, yeah... but you should have a bought a Core i7-2600k. Your CPU has no open multiplier and therefore it can't be overclocked that high...

My friend has an Extra "Core i7-2600k" processor.
Would I be able to replace it with the Core i7-2600k?

Most OEM PCs don't come with Z68/Z77 motherboard instead of H61/H67/H77 mobo , PSU - not much room for overclocking either
If you want to overclock , you will have to buy motherboard that support overclocking , maybe new PSU and an aftermarket cooler (Intel Stock cooler is crap)

Better to get 3rd gen intel CPU (Ivy Bridge). Its faster and costs same price as Sandy.

Yeah, but he already got his new rig Tongue

Anyway, the Sandy Bridge CPUs are still good.
