When i right-click computer in start to
device manager/display adapters/Intel(R) G45\G43 Express chipset/propeties/driver/update driver
Would that either wreck my computer and do i have to pay for the update for my graphics card?
Plus i have a windows 7 32-bit
thanks

no and no. This isn't OSX. You don't pay for updates.
The average person plays a few games and surfs the net and not much else. The average person isn't overclocking. The whole point was he's acting like nobody should get anything better then a 560 ti when games like BF3 take a gtx 580/6970 to play on ultra with 60+ fps. If you just wanna get by then you don't need a i5 2500k either.
A 560Ti isn't "just getting by". Its considered very high end. Also, I don't know if it was in this thread specifically but he said something to the effect of: Buy one at first. If you are dissatisfied with the performance, buy another and put it into SLI. Don't immediately assume that you need to buy two.
is there a AMD HD6000 or higher you could recommend if its not the i don't get shogun 2 for free.if i were to get that i couldn't get the game... i could get a nvidia GE force and get just cause 2 free but I've beaten that already(console version)
I don't think that a free $10 game should be the deciding factor...
This one comes with Dirt 3. Same deal as before. If you like the performance, stay where you are. If not, add another one, making sure that your mobo supports xfire.
is this a good video card or do i need better Here...let me guess i need better...
The link is broken but it looks like it was a 6570. That definitely isn't awful but not nearly enough for what you want to do. This one is pretty good. I'm going to give you Fieldzy's advice here and tell you to buy one of these for now. If you see huge need for another one, but it and put them in SLI. Make sure your Mobo supports SLI first though.
Might as well say go with a dual core processor since most people won't take advantage of a 2500k. The 560 ti/HD6950 already can't max all games and why sli later? By the time these cards are under performing you will want a new gen GPU. The new cards coming out next year are already gonna blow the current away. The 7970 is suppose to be as powerful as a 6990 with 30% less power consumption.
>buying dual-core processor
>2011
I need to spend less time on /g/
Srsly though, there are plenty of ways for the average user to take advantage of the 2500k.
there is a deal im getting dirt 3 and shogun 2: total war~
oops misread :unsure.gif: so what would be better the 6 or 4 core
If you know for a fact that you need Hyperthreading, get the i7 2600k. If you don't know what Hyperthreading is, then you don't need it. For gaming you should go with the i5 2500k.
EDIT: And in case you were wondering, its a quadcore.
There are no good octo-cores on the market right now. If you even think about Bulldozer then you can leave right now. Did you even see what I wrote? Getting more cores won't necessarily improve performance.
im thinking about proccessors 8 core 3.6 or 4 core 3.6 ghz what would be best becuase i am going to be rendering videos and other stuff.. or is a 6 core 3.3 good?
The i5 2500k or i7 2600k is what you need. More cores =/= more better.
I used to have a couple jailbroken iPod touches. 1st Gen and 3rd Gen. I recently did a factory reset on my 3rd gen because it was crashing often and I wasn't gaining much from having it jailbroken.
overclocking with the Sandy Bridges are fairly easy. Go into the bios, don't use an external program given by ASUS, not quite as good. Just bump up the multiplier little by little, burning in and stress testing constantly. Depending on the quality of silicon of your CPU, you can get it anywhere from 4.5GHz to 5.3GHz on that cooler. Someone should link a decent guide, but I don't have the patience to look one up, sorry.
Don't get him too excited. I doubt hes going to get that high with that cooler.

I don't know much about headsets but I would only trust Thermaltake for cases.

Why even respond? Just report him and move on.

Why don't you get the 560Ti and save $20 and buy Shogun 2 with those savings.
