@ jariceal - 5.05.13 - 06:56pm Hey guyz hw comes a core i3 3220 has four cores although am told 2 are vitual. Is there a way to create a virtual processor in i5 i3 has 2 real cores that both do 2 treads so 4 treads. its called hyper treading. the i5 has 4 real cores and no ht wich is better as hyper treaded cpu cuts core speed in half when 1 core is doing 2 treads. i7-s have 4 cores plus hyper treading 8 treads total and extreme i7-s have 6 cores with ht 12 treads total. |

the i5 is a better cpu than the i3. real cores are better than virtual cores.

Thanks dude i'll go for an i7 with the 6 real cores. Can u give me the specific model of the i7 that has a 6 core???

that will eat up your whole budget lol seriously, go for an AMD CPU. Let your biggest expense be your graphics card. Alvar already laid out a very good build in your price range

@ alvar89 - 5.05.13 - 01:19pm AMD FX-6300 Vishera CPU, ASRock 970 EXTREME3, Corsair CX500M 500W Modular 80plus bronze, Corsair Vengange 2x4gb (8gb) 1600mhz RAM, SApphire Radeon HD 7870 GHZ 2gb and a Western Digital Blue 500gb drive. that, thats a very solid build for your price range. |

the cheapest 6 core intel is the i7 3930k thats 569.99usd @newegg for the cpu alone plus the x79 platform has expensive motherboards.

if you are willing to expand the budget look at the AMD FX-8320 Vishera its a 8 core for 174.99usd. it gets beaten by i7-s but looking at the price its no wonder and i bet you dont need a extreme edition i7 for gaming unless you do some serious tasks like rendering etc for living.
