The Matroska Media container is a very popular, open standard Multimedia container which is usually found as .MKV files. It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in VLC or Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed.
We played our 1080P MKV rip of The Dark Knight using the latest version of VLC Media Player.
The AMD FX 4170 CPU isn't best suited for media playback purposes, as proven by its 19% utilisation when playing our 1080P MKV movie. We would have liked to see this figure under 10%, but in all honesty, 19% CPU utilisation won't cause issues if media playback is part of a set of basic tasks that will be running on the system at any one time.
I really dont like AMD systems, their CPUS are always very unpowered even for the price.
its becouse you have too alot money , if you have less you will chose amd and you will be happy , in game fps diference is low. and about multytasking you not using all programs in same time to feel diference.
Honestly, i used Ebuyer, found a rig more or less the same for £250, granted it has a smaller HDD, less RAM and only a built in AMD GPU, for an extra £50-£100 you can sort out the GPU and the RAM, which still leaves it £150 to £200 less than this rig, bargain in my eyes :3
