AMD Athlon II X4 640 AM3
Core Frequency 4 x 3.00GHz
L1 Cache 4 x 128KB
L2 Cache 2MB

OR

AMD Phenom II X2 560 Black Edition
Core Frequency 2 x 3.30GHz
L1 Cache 2 x 512KB
L2 Cache 6MB

So quad or core I want to play the latest games but also render video's Whats best guys?

And graphics card which is best im thinking of the 450.

GeForce GTS 250 1GB
GeForce GTS 450 1GB
ATI Radeon HD 5570 1GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB

i don't play comp. games but one of my cuz's do. so i know a lil bit about this. I say core, and get a really good graphics card, like the ATI HD 5770 1 GB, and make sure the computers ram is atleast 4 GB's, but the higher the ram and graphics card, the more smoother the games are going to play =D

Lol u said core dual or quad? And Im getting 4gb of ram was gonna go with 8 but its unneeded

What I found on Google:

The AMD Quad Phenom has a maximum clocking speed of 3.4 Ghz, compared to the the Intel dual core maximum clocking speed of 3.33 GHz. This combined with a faster communicating ability between cores due to the 2000 MHz maximum FSB (Front Side Bus) compared to 1600 MHz FSB in Intel dual cores, AMD Quad Phenom is much faster. The AMD Quad processor also costs lesser than the dual cores of Intel. So AMD is clearly the winner here as it is faster and cheaper.

Also for the graphics card. Both companys make ace products. So I recommend getting any of the ones you listed, as long as they fall within ur budget.

if you get 8 GB's that would be AMAZING!!! lol it'll be like as fast as flash lol, and for gaming i would pick dual core :y:

Quad core and 8GB of RAM will usually be better to play game on the highest settings, and to render quicker. Not sure about the graphics cards though.

i would recommend the nvidia geforce gts 450 1gb....i personally feel nvidia has better graphics than the ati cards....been using nvidia for about 5 yrs now and im pretty happy with it....i remember getting an ati card, cant remember which one but it ended up only lasting me about 5 months and then my display kept crashing because of it so.

Yeah thats the card I have pretty much set on now can you advice me to the processor to which one is best more cores at lower ghz or 2 at higher with higher cache which is important to gaming.

i would have to agree with Light Bringer on the processor, i never actually used a computer with amd thoe, i always had an intel chip in my computers so.
