Mainly I wanna have bf 3 or 2012 no issues, with cypress which is one of the top preforms on the matters to be hailing ass... I just don't wanna over spend my cpu, and not end up with enough gpu. It like hiring a hooker and not being able to get it up lol talk about a kick in the champs.


Plus I don't understand a lot about the socketing systems for the intel nore how the north bridging and such work with upgrades to the processes themselves.

Not saying there the worst brand ever, just never a big fan of the Pentium brand to really follow up on to it. To justify the over haul prices. Not to mention the cooling system going to set you back another 300 on top of that at least for a low end one.

Kold the latest Intel CPU's are lower power consumption and power use than equivalent AMD cpu's .
Its not like the old days when Intel cpu's ran so hot you had problems oc'ing them at all .

The difference is theyre made on a 32 nm process now and AMD have only started making 32 nm this year . The Phenom is 45 nm .
That will even out with bulldozer because it is also 32nm

I am debating if I should jump my C.P.U up higher and my budget to 2ooog budget and switch sides. The cool computer is always the happy-er computer. I just like the 4 sli bridging factor. A video board like that will last a very long time.... Like right now I am running a amd64 duel processor with an 8600 gts anything beat this set up. It give me my first chance to really flash the hard drive and update it to start monkeying around with it. But in the mean time I am thinking I want a computer just in case I burn it out. Even with the computer I have not its not hard to pull a performance out of it compared to the i3 with it provided I clock right on this series

Bulldozer is coming soon .

Buy a board with a 990 series chipset and you have full speed [16x /16x] crossfire and SLI .
The current intels 32 nm cpu's/ boards run at 8x/8x when you install two graphics cards
Thats not a huge performance hit for intel but it is an area where Bulldozer may shine .
We just dont know till there are some benchmarks

For a dual GPU set up have a look at
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7

All offer crossfire and SLI
The feature sets make intel boards look a bit sick .
But the potential cant be reached unless bulldozer is competitive . Thats a gamble
But its not an unreasonable gamble

Yah I ended up caving I am changing my whole lay out, I have deside to go with Intel. As much as I dislike the company, I don't think amd will make the grade with the new boards........


New build looks like this


Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost)

Intel 320 Series SSDSA2CW160G3K5 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive

PNY VCGGTX570XPB GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Ram unsure

Power going to be 1350 w

case is going to be
Corsair Obsidian Series 800D Full Tower Case

so far the grand total looks like 2k lol

 

[Outlander_04]

your processor wont fit in that motherboard

you need a socket 1155 motherboard for a 2600k
preferably Z68 or P67

 

[Kold51]

your totally right I am looking at 3 boards right now right socket An I am wondering about video cards is there anyway to cut down there size, Mosst of them are running at 3 size access on the backs for vents, I realize u can ripe the fans off them providing the cooling good enoght. But what the point in having 4 pci.e if u can't fit the video cards in

 

[Kold51]

especially if there back to back high performance cards, Also how much cooling should I invest if I have to costume them?
