    And why the fuck would you need an octocore processor anyway? Are you trying to host a server or something?
    Was for the sake of comparison. I'm sure someone can build me a decent budget rig to run games at medium or high easily.

    I'd fuck with AMD parts if they're good. As I've said, I have no brand loyalty. I'm currently Intel/Nvidia, but this isn't a gaming PC. I'd go mixing and matching if it's the best price/performance ratio.

    Brit if you are looking for a 490 some dollar rig you can look at my reddit thread reddit.com/u/JackGriffiths and someone posted one. I asked them a follow up also.

    Can you look at thr build I'm talking about. I would be willing to spend like 30-50 more for a better graphics card if actually needed.

    Hm. I'm no CPU expert but that AMD six core should be fine. The 7850 should be roughly on the same level as my card, which is the GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB and can run current games well. However, for futureproofing purposes I'd get a card with 2GB VRAM, at least that's what smart people have been saying. I believe the 7850 comes in a 2GB model, no? Either that, or the noticably more powerful 7870 if your budget allows it. If not, 7850 2GB should be fine IMO.

    Anyone else feels like Valve should make a Team Fortress 3 sometime? Either that or we set up a server for TF2 and play some good matches.

    One of the main reasons to have multi-core processor in a laptop is that smaller wires and distributed processing decrease heat and power use. Power/speed are not the same as a large number of processor cores. That said, I wish I had my gaming PC.
