hello again emuforums reason for this post is to rate my system and suggestions for any improvements that may help me in the long run

here's my system spec's
my OS windows 7 ultimate most of background services are disabled
my cpu amd phenom 7750 dual core 3.18ghz
ram GSKILL 4 gigs but 3.50GB usable
video BFG geforce 9800GTX+ 512mb OC eddition
mobo ASROCK N68-S
heatsink thermatake cooler ethusiast cooler with style model CL-P0401 V1 yeah i know beefy air cooler.

other than this spill away people.

It's fine.
I think so.

Try using PCSX2.

 

[Lex_Light]

I think that this PC is great.

yeah i plan on upgrading to the best amd quad core on the market

tho AMD Sucks for Gaming & OC'ing in my opinion ;D

yeah the intel chips does have better architecture than amds. how ever they can be up to par with the intel chips do to overclocking them right.

Well, what kind of processor cooling do you have? Stock? If it's not stock, then I can actually suggest getting a Phenom II X3 because that will be faster than your Phenom 1 Quad on PCSX2 as the emu doesn't support quad cores yet.

That's the heat sink I use too and it works extremely well for keeping the heat down on your CPU. I'd say get it if you're going to do any overclocking (assuming you wish to stick with air cooling). It's not too expensive either which is nice.

If anything, keeping the RAM from becoming underpowered (especially if you use 4 sticks) and Southbridge from overheating will pose larger challenges than the CPU overheating with one of those attached.

yeah it does job of keeping the cpu cool around 19 to 20 degrees pushing it goes no higher than 28 using hw monitor to keep up with temps. my mobo can hold up to AM3 socket which means i can upgrade to the highest AMD on the market.
