CHURNOBUL

fair enough. another question for you sir...so this may be false but i thought that for gaming and general use, a higher clocked lower core cpu was better than lower clock higher core cpu. am i wrong or does the .3g not matter? or does overclocking it remove the issue?

whyd you go with the single stick of 8g compared to 2x4g? thats what i thought.

so i know the 270 is a lot better but the noob in me is wondering whats the difference betweent the cpus? and ram?

^^^ just the cpu blows my budget. thanks for being helpful.

updated...im currently in chicago.

So first id like to preface this by saying...yes i know its not gonna run ultra. but i had to sell my old pc when i moved and currently im gaming on my dads old work laptop (ie. .5g single core, .5 g ram, integrated graphics, 85 g hdd) so ANYTHING is a step up. also this is my first personal build however ive dabbled in hardware previously and ive probably done a years worth of research in like 2 weeks lol. currently i just really play wow cuz its all my "pc" can handle (and by handle i mean get more than 5 fps). but i would like to get back into gaming like i used to. playing whatever i want even if at low graphics settings with atleast 40fps. budget is bassically 750$ ish for everything. so heres what im thinking for the tower and such.
