What do you recommend?

[Tommykpo96]

Well, this month I will buy a new computer and I'm not sure which to choose.


Overclocked Intel® Core™ i7 930 Quad Core Processor (3.36GHz, 8MB Cache)
Windows® 7 Ultimate Original, 64bits - Spanish
6GB DDR3 SDRAM  1333MHz - (3x 2048MB)
750GB - SATA-II, 3Gb/s, 7,200RPM, 16MB Cache HDD
Dual Drives: Blu-ray Disc (BD) Burner (Writes to DVD/CD/BD) and DVD-ROM
Samsung T260n 26' FullHD (I already have it)


And here is the problem:
Single 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460
or
Dual ATi Radeon HD 5670 GDDR5 1GB ( CrossFire )

I have to decide between that, what you recommend me?
EDIT: Approximately, how much FPS will I have running GTA SA and GTA IV?


Cheers,
Tommy

If you just really want it for SA / IV then you dont need a computer that powerful tbh.
i7 is fine but an i5 would be enough for SA & IV.
Windows 7 ultimate ? pointless imo, get home premium. (If your building this computer (which you should be) make sure you get an OEM copy of Win7)
6GB is ok, 4Gb 1600MHz may be enough for you.
Only get a BlueRay if you will use it and get your moneys worth.

If i were you i would go for 1 ATI 5770. Can run new games perfectly with good fps.

If you want to save some money then think about what i said, if you don't then do what ever.

What i meant is it would be pointless spending more money to get ultimate if you won't use the features.

I can't choose the OS. As for video card, the alternatives offered to me are:


The computer that I can build on Dell is an Alienware Aurora:

 Dual NVidia2GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon™ HD 5970  (Not in my plans to buy it but if I really should make an effort)
 Single 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460 (For the moment, would be buying this)
 Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 CrossfireX™ Enabled (Default)
 Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 CrossfireX™ Enabled (I'm not much interested in it)
 Dual 1.8GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260 - SLI® Enabled (Another option)
 Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 Crossfire™ Enabled  (I think it would better the first and offered me the same price)
 Dual 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460 - SLI Enabled (I think it would better the first and offered me the same price)

 

Cheers,

Wait a minute.

Firstly you shouldn't buy a prebuilt, you should build your own computer. You could probably save a few hundred and you get good reliae parts. It's not hard.

Also if you tell us what you want to use this computer for and the games you would like to run on it then we can let you know what you should do / get.

[Tommykpo96]

I want that computer to play games like GTA San Andreas and GTA IV with high quality and high FPS. Also for video editing, of course. My father wants to watch Blu-Ray movies.

If its is just for SA and IV then why spend so much money on a powerful computer ?. Just seems abit pointless to me if you are not going to get you moneys worth.
Oh well, its your money.
