Assuming by broke you mean you're only gonna spend $300 on your PC, I say go with a AMD dual core rig. Those will serve you well for a budget system. |
thx for the reply. So I'd need atleast an E7200 oc'd to 3.6 to not bottleneck the card?
that's nuts. so there is no stock processor out right now that can allow a 4870 to run unhinderered?
