So i wanted to post here cuz i have a ''gaming'' rig for 550$
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Stock Clock
4 Gb Vengeance 1600Mhz
GigaByte HD 7750 OC 1Gb GDDR5
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500HDD
Corsair 430 Watt 80+ Bronze
Some shitty case!
So i was doing a benchmark on Battlefield 3 (soon i will do Crysis 3):
Map:Metro 64 player
Everything on High
Anisotropic filtering 8x
HBAO
Avg: 48.313 - Min: 33 - Max: 68
Ultra
Anisotropic filtering 16x
HABO
Avg: 36.190 - Min: 20 - Max: 58
NOTE: Resolution was 1920x1080
:P
Quite good for a 7750. I´ll probably but the exact same build as you, only with a 7770 and 550W psu (because my power is dirty). Do you have your 965BE paired with the stock cooler? If so, what are the temps?
Yes i have stock cooler and its LOUD.
The temps are:Idle 35C
Load 55-66C -Thats cuz of thermal paste...And cooler
I'll run it with stock cooler for a couple of months, then i'll probably install the coolermaster hyper 212 evo. I really don't know how to install an aftermarket cooler, but whatever. I'll manage. And how loud is the stock fan? Loud enough to wake people?
DUDE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ITS LIKE GONNA LIFT OF TO SPACE!!!!
God almighty... might have to buy sound dampening foam then as well. Evo 212 costs 30 euros here, which is about 45 dollars... total rip-off.

Yea but its BANG FOR THE BUCK And if you buy in the future a liquid cooling and overclock it to 4.0Ghz-4.5Ghz then you got some BULKY CPU! Remember that! ;)
The CPU is beast, you're right. It'll outperform most entry level FX processors. Shame it doesn't come with a better/more silent cooler.
Well dude i just did Arma 3 benchmark and i was suprised! :P
1920x1080
High + my optimization
Avg: 31.442 - Min: 19 - Max: 75 Singleplayer
I got a 1366 x 768 television as my monitor, so it'll run even better. Since I used to play on Intel HD graphics i'll be satisfied with medium/high quality graphics without AA enabled. And you have a 7750 ofcourse.
