I apologize 8350. It was another guy. LoL. I had to go back to the original thread and see.

LoL ... Fail! Lost my thoughts. Basically was just concerned about heat on the smaller architecture from increased voltage.

Game developers design games and/or software independently for consoles and PC's. That being said. AMD offers the best performance per dollar spent but also less reliability. Haswell isn't out yet but I would invest in the Ivy Bridge anyway seeing how you're looking at getting a dedicated GPU.

Yes the Xigmatek is a great fan and you'll get the same performance as the EVO from it.

Alot of people will argue this but for most games these days having a powerful CPU isn't as important as having a quality GPU. Plain and simple fact really. Let's use Battlefield 3 for example. Using a gen 1 i5 or even the AMD equivalent with let's say 2x 660's in SLI you will get roughly...

750w PSU is waaaay too much. Get a 500w that will be plenty. As far as GPUs go, I recommend the 650ti. Very good low end gaming card that will handle the Battlefield3 game at medium settings. You will however need to increase your budget some depending where you shop.

^This Thou the IB CPU's will now take advantage of higher RAM speeds nothing currently exists to take advantage gaming wise.

I never said that I sided with anyone because it's not worth my time to indulge in trivial things. Of course Intel beats AMD, that's a given. You said there were "no" benchmarks out there that showed the AMD beating the Intel. Plain and simple you are wrong cause there are. I said earlier...
