Boutique system vendor Maingear is hoping to capitalize on AMD’s low-priced 6-core Phenom II X6 processor line by releasing a pair of modestly priced gaming PCs built around the new platform. It’s called the VYBE Limited Edition and it comes in two baseline configurations.
The first one sells for $999 and comes built around AMD’s Phenom II X6 1055T processor, the lesser of AMD’s two chips. Maingear couples the CPU with AMD’s new 890GX chipset, which boasts support for SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0. Other features include a Radeon HD 5670 videocard, 4GB of DDR3-1333 memory, 640GB hard drive, DVD burner, 500W power supply, and Windows 7 Home Premium.
For $300 more, Maingear bumps the processor up to a 1090T (3.2GHz). Other upgrades include a Radeon HD 5830 videocard and 6GB of DDR3-1333 memory, otherwise the specs remain the same.
Both setups are available now direct from Maingear.
