I think going own the i5 4670k road will push my budget up something rotten...
I might stick with the A10 6800k instead... I can always then buy a dedicated GPU down the road if I feel it's lacking and get a bigger case.
The A10 should be okay for just running Dolphin games okay, I'm not too worried about it being like 16xAA blah blah top settings.
It should do. It's much more powerful than the proposed A10 rig.
Also, I'm glad to see I've finally convinced someone of the excellence of Scan if you live in the UK, even if they aren't from the UK themselves.
By the way, if you can get to the Reebok stadium in Bolton, their shop is a couple of hundred metres from there, so you could pick it up. This would save you the £5-10 postage.
Alternatively, if you make several helpful posts on Hexus's forums, they give you lifetime free postage at Scan. Don't abuse this by posting nonsense, but if you're willing to give up some time, and actually answer people's questions, then it is probably a good idea.
Scan is amazing, I've used them in the past.
I dont think I could get to Bolton from where I am down on the South Coast.
Thanks for the heads up.
I'm looking forward to working on this build over the next few months.
@AnyOldName3 I've just seen your specs, how do you find the machine to be?
@admin39, cheers, I'll have to look at some benchmarks for the AMD 7750
Btw , that AMD 7750 is GDDR5 version which is faster than DDR3 version
I've not started any Dolphin yet, and I've not overclocked yet, so can't say much. It works in what I've used it for.
