Welcome to the updated and revamped Hardware 2.0 “Very Best Kit List” for May/Jun 09. Here put together is a list of the best high-end and mid-range and budget components currently available. So if you’re thinking of buying, building or even upgrading a PC, this list is a must-read for you!
CPU
Extreme - Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition - Quad-core, 3.2GHz
The Core i7 processors represents a new era in architecture for Intel. Gone is the LGA 775 socket, instead replaced by the larger Socket LGA 1366.
With the Core i7 Intel has also reintroduced Hyper-Threading, giving the desktop CPUs the power of eight virtual cores. You also get the brand new X58 chipset and support for DDR3.
Additional info - What you need to go Core i7!!!
Price: $1000
Mid-range - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 - Quad-core, 2.5GHz
Gone is the aging Q6600 from the list (one of the best CPUs Intel has ever made), replaced this time by the Q8300. This 45nm piece offers 2.5GHz of quad-core power for well under $200, making it an ideal part for those looking for good bang for the buck..
Price: $190
