cpu processors

They should be... Are you going to get the Maximus in Canada?

 

I might get the maximus. Or I can ask the computer guy to find a motherboard suitable for my specs.

 

will i be able to buy the maximus in canada? or will i have to get a different motherboard?

 

Yeah, I dont see why not. Unless the store you're buying it from doesnt have it in stock.

 

If I get the following specs:

Motherboard: Asus Maximus or any other compatible motherboard

CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600

RAM: 4GB

Hard drive: 512GB

Video Card: ATI RADEON HD 3870

Sound Card: Sound Max

OS: Windows Vista

will I be able to play the latest games with full speed. Also, will I be able to download, burn and play games at the same time with ease? Also, can you tell me what parts of the pc is best for gaming according to my specs? Thanks!

 

Q6600

so, the core 2 quad Q6600 is the best cpu out there? Wow! So, how much is the Q6600? Also, what other parts of my pc should i upgrade?

 

i think its $280 u should get a better mobo i don't think ur mobo supports it

Yes, but I would highly recommend the Maximus over that one. For the same price, you get PCI-e 2.0 and better overclocking.

Yes, but Crysis is still a different story. You will definetly be able to play it with all high, but not very high settings at a decent resolution.

Yes, you can download and play games at the same time, since the Q6600 is great at multi tasking.

The best parts for gaming are the graphics card, cpu, ram and motherboard.

Not nessesarly. The Core 2 Quad Extreme processor series (950 and up) are currently the best out there. The Q6600 isnt a "true" quad core processor, it is essentially 2 duel cores combined into 1. The Extreme processors are all separated cores.

I allready told you. Anything with socket 775 for the cpu and PCI-e for the video card.

 

What other components of my new pc should I upgrade in order to play the latest games on very high or ultra performance with ease? Thanks!

 

i would get a sli mobo and get two 8800gt with like 4gb ram @ 800 with the q6600 full tower case thats wat im makin but som parts are not here yet

 

also, how much is the asus maximus special edition in canada or taiwan?

Thats 261.37 CAD.

 

So, I have put together these specs for my new gaming computer:

Motherboard: ASUS Maximus Special Edition

CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3870

Sound Card: Sound FX (comes with motherboard)

RAM: 4GB

OS: Windows Vista

Just tell me what you think of my new computer and then i'll be off to buy this machine! Thanks!

 

looks great!

 

However, with the computer that im going to buy, i can play crysis with ease right?

 

No computer to date can play Crysis with ease (60+ fps)

You can play crysis on all high settings with a decent resolution though, just not very high.
