Drop Kaspersky, just use the free one from Microsoft.

But yeah, seems like a pretty nice setup. If you're going to be doing some video editing or something like Photoshop alot, I would go with a i7 because of hyper threading.

All Core i series CPU's have HyperThreading, not just the i7. The difference is that the i7's are generally clocked higher and are quad cores. i5's may be either a dual or a quad depending on the model.

Hey guys,

Quick question "hoping to get a quick answer :P"

Is Nvidia better than AMD ?

[EDIT]

could you recommend a good graphics card ?

Edited July 29, 201114 yr by JordanH

I, personally like more Nvidia, they've been always working nicely for me.

There's no performace differance or anything though O_o

Let me tell you, from experience, nvidia cards have more elaborate and better features than the ATI(AMD) cards. The nvidia driver is also much better than the ATI one, there is tons of stuff you can configure and it feels nice. I would definitely buy a nvidia over an ATI any day.

ATI Graphics provide more FPS, but a little bit less quality. At nVIDIA it's the opposite, but there's not much difference either. I would go with nVIDIA, because the name is cooler and more quality for just 1-2 FPS. But I never tried ATI so you can't go on my advice.

Thank yoou
